Walden and Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau
This combined edition contains Walden, Thoreau's account of life beside Walden Pond, followed by the separate essay On the Duty of Civil Disobedience.
Walden explores daily work, the natural world, solitude and the choices that shape a life. The accompanying essay discusses conscience and an individual's relationship with government.
Retained text source: Project Gutenberg ebook 205. Civil Disobedience is also offered separately in the catalog; this edition includes it after Walden.
