More about the book

Exploring themes of nature, simplicity, and individualism, this collection features two seminal works by Henry David Thoreau. "Walden" reflects on his experiment in living deliberately in the woods, emphasizing self-sufficiency and a deep connection to nature. "Civil Disobedience" advocates for the moral imperative of resisting unjust government actions, arguing for personal conscience over conformity. Together, these texts challenge readers to consider their relationship with society and the natural world, encouraging introspection and activism.

Thoreau takes us to 19th-century America, where he spent over two years living simply by Walden Pond. It’s part reflection on a simpler life, part critique of materialism. Some parts drag a bit, but overall, it’s worth the read.
