About the Book

'Walden And On The Duty Of Civil Disobedience'' is written by Sir Henry David Thoreau. The main idea of this book by Henry David Thoreau is to find the meaning of life. The author set out to think about himself, life, and the place of man in the universe. In this book, Thoreau made the case that if the government forces people to uphold injustice by adhering to "unjust laws," they should "break the law," even if doing so results in jail time. In Civil Disobedience, Thoreau's central thesis is that there is a law that transcends civil law that everyone must abide by. The government and human law are subordinate. The person must behave in accordance with his conscience and, if necessary, reject human law when the two conflict. To read this premium collection of law and to discuss the meaning of life, readers should read this book!

About Author

Henry David Thoreau

Naturalist, writer, poet, and philosopher Henry David Thoreau was an American who lived from July 12, 1817, to May 6, 1862. His most well-known work, Walden, is a meditation on simple life in the natural world. He was a forerunner of ecological theory and environmental history, two major influences on contemporary environmentalism. In Concord, Massachusetts, Henry David Thoreau was born into a humble family. Between 1833 and 1837, he attended Harvard College for his studies. He worked as a land surveyor and continued to keep a two million-word notebook for 24 years, recording ever-more-detailed observations on the natural history of the town, which covered an area of 26 square miles (67 square kilometers). Thoreau never got married and never had kids. He proposed to Ellen Sewall, then 18 years old, when he was 23 years old, but she declined on the advice of her father. On May 6, 1862, Henry David Thoreau passed away. He was 44. After contracting TB in 1835, he intermittently experienced its effects. His final words, spoken while he was still conscious, were "Now comes good sailing," followed by the words "moose" and "Indian." In Concord, Massachusetts' Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, he was laid to rest.
