Walden and Civil Disobedience
In 1845 Henry David Thoreau left the town and headed to the countryside. There, beside the lake of Walden, he built himself a simple log cabin and returned to nature. In this perceptive and sometimes moving narration, we hear Thoreau's deeply personal reaction against the commercialism and materialism of mid-nineteenth century America. A warning from the past which is more than valid today. "If a man does not keep pace with his Companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer." Let's hope so, and that there are more Thoreau's out there today. If not, then this audiobook may go some way to inspiring them. --Bukowski on Bukowskizine
