{"product_id":"walden-and-civil-disobedience-14","title":"Walden and Civil Disobedience","description":"Disdainful of America’s booming commercialism and industrialism, Henry David Thoreau left Concord, Massachusetts, in 1845 to live in solitude in the woods near Walden Pond. \u003ci\u003eWalden\u003c\/i\u003e, the account of his stay, conveys at once a naturalist’s wonder at the commonplace and a Transcendentalist’s yearning for spiritual truth and self-reliance. But even as Thoreau disentangled himself from worldly matters, his musings were often disturbed by his social conscience. \u003ci\u003eCivil Disobedience\u003c\/i\u003e, also included in this volume, expresses his antislavery and antiwar sentiments, and has influenced non-violent resistance movements worldwide. Both give a rewarding insight into a free-minded, principled and idiosyncratic man.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54220762513752,"sku":"9780140390445","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780140390445_9b8fc450-7f7f-4367-aa46-1138d32a00a0.jpg?v=1764315039","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/walden-and-civil-disobedience-14","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
