It is difficult to find a thinker more relevant today than Henry Thoreau. The themes to which he devoted his work are social justice and “conscious consumption,” the rejection of the cult of material prosperity and love of nature, internal self-sufficiency, intellectual improvement and, of course, the fight against the racism that reigned supreme in the United States in his time — in the 21st century. became programmatic for the entire civilized world. This collection includes artistic, journalistic and philosophical works demonstrating different aspects of Thoreau’s intellectual, spiritual and social position - the classic abolitionist essay “On Civil Disobedience”, the “main book” of the writer “Walden, or Life in Forest,” which continues to influence many people of nonconformist beliefs, as well as the charming little story “Ktaadn,” dedicated to the author’s ascent to the mountain of the same name in New England, and the article “Slavery in Massachusetts.”
