Walden with Thoreau's Essay on the Duty of Civil Disobedience

The narrative details Thoreau's two-year experiment in solitude at a cabin by Walden Pond, situated on land owned by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Through this experience, he seeks to attain a clearer perspective on society by distancing himself from its influences, reflecting on themes of nature, self-reliance, and simplicity. The work serves as a profound exploration of individualism and a critique of contemporary societal norms.
