Henry David Thoreau
A brilliant but flawed idealist, Henry David Thoreau fights to redefine humanity’s relationship with nature and government, challenging society to live simply, resist injustice, and awaken to a more meaningful existence.
Henry David Thoreau helped define modern environmentalism and nonviolent resistance, yet his life has been obscured by myth. The author of Walden and Civil Disobedience, he was brilliant but flawed, idealistic but opinionated. A writer, scientist and activist, his words resonate urgently with today’s challenges as humanity looks for ways to live in harmony with nature—and each other.
