SynopsisHenry David Thoreau dedicated his life to preserving his freedom as a man and an artist. Nature was the fountainhead of his inspiration and his refuge from what he considered the follies of society. Heedless of his friends' advice to live in a more orthodox manner, he determinedly pursued his own inner bent, which was that of a poet-philosopher, in prose and verse. Carl Bode brings together the best of Thoreau's works in The Portable Thoreau , a comprehensive collection of the writings of a unique and profoundly influential American thinker. The complete texts of Thoreau's classic works Walden and "Civil Disobedience," as well as selections from The Maine Woods, Cape Cod , the Journal , and eighteen poems are included. Bode's introduction rounds out this compact volume, offering a thorough and informative analysis of Thoreau and the forces that shaped his life and writing., INCLUDES 'WALDEN' COMPLETE; SELECTIONSFROM 'A WEEK ON THE CONCORD AND MERRIMACK RIVERS' 'THE MAINE WOODS' AND THE 'JOURNAL'; EIGHTEEN POEMS AND SIXTEEN ESSAYS.
