Summary
Henry David Thoreau: Civil Disobedience
Thoreau's best-known and most influential works are Walden, or Life in the Woods, a kind of diary about the author's experiment with the goal of living as simply as possible, and Civil Disobedience, an essay in which he states the reasons why a citizen is obliged to resist an unjust government. Before you is a selection of three essays, which will give you an insight into Thoreau's criticism of government, "progress" and the life of an unworthy man, on the one hand, and on the other hand his belief about how man should live and what he should strive for in order for his existence to have a higher meaning.
