A minor work in its own time, \u003ci\u003eWalden\u003c\/i\u003e burgeoned in popularity during the counter culture movement of the 1960s. \u003ci\u003eCivil Disobedience\u003c\/i\u003e is thought to have originated after Thoreau spent a night in jail for refusing to pay taxes to a government with whose policies he did not agree. Assigning greater importance to the conscience of the individual than the governing law, \u003ci\u003eCivil Disobedience\u003c\/i\u003e is an internationally admired work that is known to have influenced writer Leo Tolstoy and political activist Mahatma Gandhi, and many members of the American Civil Rights Movement. Now available together in one chic and affordable edition as part of the Word Cloud Classics series, \u003ci\u003eWalden and Civil Disobedience\u003c\/i\u003e makes an attractive addition to any library. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canterbury Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33012489945188,"sku":"9781626860636","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/walden-and-civil-disobedience-3","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
