But Thoreau's embrace of solitude and simplicity did not entail a withdrawal from social and political matters. \u003ci\u003eCivil Disobedience\u003c\/i\u003e, also included in this volume, expresses his antislavery and antiwar sentiments, and has influenced resistance movements worldwide. Both give rewarding insight into a free-minded, principled and idiosyncratic life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thoreau became a key member of the Transcendentalist movement that included Margaret Fuller and Bronson Alcott.

While living at Walden, Thoreau worked on the two books published during his lifetime: \u003ci\u003eWalden\u003c\/i\u003e (1854) and \u003ci\u003eA Week on the Concord\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMerrimack Rivers\u003c\/i\u003e (1849).
