Walden: And On the Duty of Civil Disobedience

First published in 1854, Walden is a manifesto of individualism, self-discovery and awareness and a criticism against a society that forces all men to follow the same drummer, tuned to the capitalist values that Thoreau had stopped to recognize has his own. As the world lives an unprecedented crisis of values and perspectives, Walden stands as an early and yet still actual search for the ultimate goal that man should pursue.
