Publisher's Summary
Henry David Thoreau was a 19th century American writer and lifelong advocate for the abolition of slavery. His written works are many and varied but he is perhaps best known for works such as Walden, a book which promotes the idea of simple living in natural surroundings and for Civil Disobedience, which argues that the general population should not simply sit idle while those elected to government ride roughshod over their wishes.
Of his other published work, Walking stands out as one which deals with the importance of nature to mankind, something which we are becoming increasingly aware of, and the reason that we cannot survive without it, either physically, mentally, or spiritually.
Now, you can own all three of these perceptive and illuminating works in Henry David Thoreau Bundle: Walden, On the Duty of Civil Disobedience, and Walking.
Each is a work that is well ahead of its day in terms of thought and each reflects much of what we still face in the world today.
Allow the ideas of Henry David Thoreau to show the path that we should be taking and to shine a light in the darkest corners with this great audiobook bundle!

A great book, wish there was a better reading
I had some preconceptions about Walden that were confounded when I began listening. It took me a while to get over them but once I had I really enjoyed the book. Combined with the ideas Civil Disobedience and Walking, Thoreau seems to have been well ahead of his time.
But I wish there was a better reading available - I sampled a couple and plumped for this one. It’s ok, but I wish it could be read in a normal way. For some reason both this and the other I sampled felt the need to put on a sort actorly flourish to there reading, which I felt is not in keeping with the subject, and also makes it difficult to understand at times. There we’re definite moments where the intonation was just wrong, the reader clearly not fully understanding the text.

Amazing revisit
So long since I have listened and enjoyed Henry David Thoreau. His simplistic view on our universe as well as a contrary take on government and authority makes me smile. He surely represented and maybe continues to represent the parts of America that I love.I hope America heals In its journey. My wish is that more of us take long walks in the woods to just be.
