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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso 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.\u003c\/p\u003eHENRY DAVID THOREAU (1817–1862) was an American poet, naturalist, abolitionist, and transcendentalist philosopher, born in Concord, Massachusetts.
