Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are. Thoreau's account of his solitary and self-sufficient home in the New England woods remains an inspiration to the environmental movement - a call to his fellow men to abandon their striving, materialistic existences of 'quiet desperation' for a simple life within their means, finding spiritual truth through awareness of the sheer beauty of their surroundings.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) é considerado um dos mais importantes escritores norte-americanos.
Ensaísta, poeta, naturalista, investigador, historiador, filósofo e transcendentalista, é autor de inúmeros ensaios, entre os quais Desobediência Civil. O seu pensamento inspirou grandes nomes que mudaram a sociedade, como Gandhi, Tolstói ou Martin Luther King, Jr., a quem devemos um mundo mais justo e mais livre do que aquele em que viveu o autor.
Considerado também um dos pioneiros do movimento ecologista, sempre defendeu o contacto com a Natureza, que advoga neste clássico intemporal A Arte de Andar a Pé.
