Thoreau, Henry David.: Civil Disobedience and other essays. v1 28 Jul 2010
Henry David Thoreau (born David Henry Thoreau; July 12, 1817 – May 6, 1862)[1] was an American author, poet, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, historian, philosopher, and leading transcendentalist. He is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay, Civil Disobedience, an argument for individual resistance to civil government in moral opposition to an unjust state.
Thoreau's philosophy of civil disobedience influenced the political thoughts and actions of such later figures as Leo Tolstoy, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr. From Wikipedia Regards, Alex This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.

Thanks! Civil Disobedience came with my jetBook Lite, but I would be interested to read the other essays.
PS - You have this listed as "Other Fiction", but shouldn't it be "Non-Fiction"? |

Thank you so much for this, Thoreau's essays move and inspire me profoundly.
Incidentally, as a resident of Tel Aviv, I greatly appreciate your beautiful multilingual peace avatar. Last edited by twosevens; 01-27-2012 at 05:02 AM. |
