Henry David Thoreau’s Walden details his experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts. ‘Civil Disobedience’ is a highly influential argument for disobedience to an unjust state. Both Walden and ‘Civil Disobedience’ are timeless classics of American literature. This Warbler Classics edition includes an introduction by Charles R. Anderson and a detailed chronology of Thoreau’s life and work.
