Civil Disobedience and Other EssaysThoreau, Henry David
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
By virtue of its casual, off-handedly brilliant wisdom and the easy splendor of its nature writing, Thoreau's account of his adventure in self-reliance on the shores of a pond in Massachusetts is one of the signposts by which the modern mind has located itself in an increasingly bewildering world.
"Aside from its timeless wisdom and quaintly poetical prose, WALDEN is often a hoot. Through his ebulliently sourpuss observations of his fellow Concordians, delivered in a cocksure voice of a critical chanticleer and heretic herald, Henry makes us laugh, to wit: 'Sunday is the fit conclusion of an ill-spent weekend.'"
Gary Wockner, Bloomsbury Review, May/June 2004
