| 520 | 0 | |a Henry David Thoreau's account of his adventure in self-reliance on the shores of a pond in Massachusetts -- part social experiment, part spiritual quest -- is an enduringly influential American classic. In 1845, Thoreau began building a cabin at Walden Pond near Concord, Massachusetts. The inspiring and lyrical book that resulted is both a record of the two years Thoreau spent in withdrawal from society and a declaration of personal independence. By virtue of its casual, offhandedly brilliant wisdom and the easy splendor of its nature writing, Thoreau's account of his immersion in solitude has become a signpost for the modern mind in an increasingly bewildering world. Also included in this edition is Thoreau's famous essay, "Civil Disobedience, " inspired by his anti-war and anti-slavery sentiments, which has influenced nonviolent resistance movements around the world ever since. | |
