Have you ever wondered why the most powerful form of protest begins with a single voice of dissent?

Henry David Thoreau's Civil Disobedience is more than just an essay-it's a moral wake-up call. Written in 1849 following his refusal to pay taxes that supported slavery and war, this groundbreaking text became the blueprint for civil resistance around the globe. With fierce clarity and philosophical insight, Thoreau champions the individual's responsibility to oppose immoral laws and corrupt governments-even if it means facing punishment.

This modern edition delivers Thoreau's revolutionary ideas in clear, accessible language while preserving the depth of his convictions. It is a compelling reminder that real change begins not with legislation, but with integrity.

Über den Autor Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau, geboren 1817 in Concord, Massachusetts, verließ die Heimatstadt nur für seinen Studienaufenthalt an der Harvard University von 1833 bis 1837. Nach einigen Jahren Tätigkeit als Lehrer und als Privatsekretär Ralph Waldo Emersons bezog er 1845 eine selbstgebaute Blockhütte am Waldensee, in der er 'Walden oder Leben in den Wäldern' schrieb. Er engagierte sich bis zu seinem Tod gegen die Sklaverei. Thoreau starb 1862 an Tuberkulose.
