Description
Henry David Thoreau's Civil Disobedience is a thought-provoking essay that explores the importance of public resistance to unjust laws and government actions.
Originally published in 1849, this influential work was written by Thoreau as a call to action for individuals to stand up against injustice. Its principles have been applied in various contexts, including the civil rights movements led by Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and anti-Vietnam War activists.
This paperback edition features 50 pages of concise yet powerful writing that remains relevant today, offering insights into the value of individual conscience and the power of peaceful protest.
