The text is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and (to some degree) manual for self-reliance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e First published in 1854, Walden details Thoreau's 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. Thoreau used this time to write his first book, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. The experience later inspired Walden, in which Thoreau compresses the time into a single calendar year and uses passages of four seasons to symbolize human development. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By immersing himself in nature, Thoreau hoped to gain a more objective understanding of society through personal introspection. Simple living and self-sufficiency were Thoreau's other goals, and the whole project was inspired by transcendentalist philosophy, a central theme of the American Romantic Period.\u003cbr\u003e -Wikipedia \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eOn The Duty of Civil Disobedience\u003c\/b\u003e [formerly known as Resistance to Civil Government (Civil Disobedience)] is an essay by American transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau that was first published in 1849. In it, Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War (1846-1848).\u003cbr\u003e -Wikipedia\u003cbr\u003e ___________________________________________\u003cbr\u003e TABLE OF CONTENTS\u003cbr\u003e Economy\u003cbr\u003e Where I Lived, and What I Lived For\u003cbr\u003e Reading\u003cbr\u003e Sounds\u003cbr\u003e Solitude\u003cbr\u003e Visitors\u003cbr\u003e The Bean-Field\u003cbr\u003e The Village\u003cbr\u003e The Ponds\u003cbr\u003e Baker Farm\u003cbr\u003e Higher Laws\u003cbr\u003e Brute Neighbors\u003cbr\u003e House-Warming\u003cbr\u003e Former Inhabitants and Winter Visitors\u003cbr\u003e Winter Animals\u003cbr\u003e The Pond in Winter\u003cbr\u003e Spring\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e ON THE DUTY OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":46434987147474,"sku":"9781539622789","price":11.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_d9ade089-35aa-4081-b349-ba370166fc1c.jpg?v=1762812567","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/fr\/products\/walden-and-on-the-duty-of-civil-disobedience-fine-print","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
