Walden and Civil Disobedience - (Penguin American Library) by Henry David Thoreau (Paperback)

Walden by Henry David Thoreau is a thought-provoking and deeply personal account of one man's journey towards self-reliance and spiritual growth.

This iconic book, originally published in 1854, has inspired generations of readers with its profound insights into the human condition and the natural world. As Thoreau himself wrote, "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to learn which is the only real wisdom." And so he did, for two years and two months, living in a small cabin by Walden Pond, observing the rhythms of nature and meditating on the world around him. Through his vivid descriptions of the natural world and his piercing philosophical musings, Thoreau challenges us to reconsider our relationship with the environment and with each other.

He advocates for a life of simplicity, self-sufficiency, and social justice, urging us to "live deep and suck the marrow out of life." This edition includes both Walden and Civil Disobedience, Thoreau's powerful statement on slavery and war, which has inspired nonviolent resistance movements around the world.

With an introduction by Kristen Case, a leading scholar of Thoreau's work, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of nature, philosophy, and social justice. So why wait?
