Henry David Thoreau was an American author, poet, and philosopher, who is best known for his works Waldena treatise about living in concert with the natural worldand Civil Disobedience, in which he espoused the need to morally resist the actions of an unjust state. Thoreau s work heavily reflects the ideologies of the American transcendentalists, and he has long been considered a leading figure in the movement along with Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bronson Alcott, and, at first, Nathaniel Hawthorne (who changed his views later in life). In addition to his writing, which totaled more than twenty volumes, Thoreau was an active abolitionist, and lectured regularly against the Fugitive Slave Law. Thoreau died in 1862, and is buried along with Louisa May Alcott, Ellery Channing, and other notable Americans in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord, Massachusetts.
It's a special pleasure to have this lovely and idiosyncratic book available in audio format.The reading by Patrick Cullen is fine. --AudioFile
Cullen maintains a mild, professional tone, appropriate to Thoreaus contemplations.Much of what [Thoreau] has to say still rings true in our century, and his deep sense of time and nature transcends the ages. --KLIATT
