Description
These thirteen selections from the polemical writings of Henry D.
Thoreau represent every stage in his twenty-two years of active writing.
This edition, introduced by writer and historian Howard Zinn, is a microcosm of Thoreau's literary career.
It allows the reader to achieve a full sense of Thoreau's evolution as a writer and thinker.
Most famous of these essays is "Resistance to Civil Government," better known as "Civil Disobedience." Still a standard text in American high schools, it has long inspired nonviolent protest around the world.
It influenced those who opposed apartheid in South Africa and motivated international anti-war demonstrators during 1960s and 1970s. "Civil Disobedience" will surely continue to influence generations of readers for years to come.
