Description of Henry David Thoreau, author of Walden and Civil Disobedience:
Two classic examinations of individuality in relation to nature, society, and government, Walden conveys at once a naturalist's wonder at the commonplace and a Transendentalist's yearning for spiritual truth and self-reliance. "Civil Disobediance" is perhaps the most famous essay in American literature--and the inspiration for social activists around the world, from Gandhi to Martin Luther King, Jr.
