This well-loved copy of Walden and On the Duty of Civil Disobedience bears the marks of a thoughtful reader’s engagement with Henry David Thoreau’s seminal work.

This copy’s highlights and notes offer a glimpse into one reader’s dialogue with Thoreau’s influential ideas on individual freedom, civil disobedience, and humanity’s relationship with nature. Despite its wear, the secure binding ensures this edition can continue to spark philosophical contemplation and appreciation for Thoreau’s transcendentalist vision.
