Walden, the account of his stay near Walden Pond, conveys at once a naturalist’s wonder at the commonplace and a transcendentalist’s yearning for spiritual truth and self-reliance. But Thoreau's embrace of solitude and simplicity did not entail a withdrawal from social and political matters. Civil Disobedience, also included in this volume, expresses his antislavery and antiwar sentiments, and has influenced resistance movements worldwide. Both give rewarding insight into a free-minded, principled and idiosyncratic life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"91\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"11\"\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e • Author: Henry David Thoreau • Publisher: Penguin Classics • Format: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cedar Leaf Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45557293776940,"sku":"9780140390445","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2234\/1420\/files\/9780140390445.jpg?v=1779293039","url":"https:\/\/cedarleafbooks.com\/products\/walden-and-civil-disobedience-penguin-american-library","provider":"Cedar Leaf Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
