Book Overview
Henry David Thoreau's "Walden, and On The Duty Of Civil Disobedience" remains a cornerstone of American thought, exploring themes of self-reliance, simplicity, and the individual's relationship to nature and society. "Walden" recounts Thoreau's experiment in simple living, detailing his time spent in a self-built cabin near Walden Pond and offering reflections on society, solitude, and the importance of living deliberately.
Paired with "On The Duty Of Civil Disobedience," this volume presents a powerful argument for resisting unjust laws and government actions. Thoreau's essays are a call for individual conscience and moral action, inspiring readers to question societal norms and live in accordance with their own principles. This edition offers a meticulously prepared printing of Thoreau's timeless works, inviting readers to engage with his profound insights on nature, social criticism, and the pursuit of a meaningful life.

Walden; or, Life in the Woods Mentions in Our Blog
Our current circumstances have a lot of people talking about the Nordic tradition known as friluftsliv (pronounced free-loofts-liv). Translated as open air life, it is the idea of spending as much time outdoors as possible, no matter the weather. So get on out there!
In celebration of Edward Abbey's birthday earlier this week, we are featuring a reading list of similar authors who came before and after him. More than just environmentalists, these activists raised clarion calls in defense of nature.
