Narrated by award winning narrator Mike Vendetti, Henry David argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War.

Faith in a Seed contains the hitherto unpublished work "The Dispersion of Seeds", one of Henry D. Thoreau's last important research and writing projects, and now his first new book to appear in 125 years. With the remarkable clarity and grace that characterize all of his writings, Thoreau describes the ecological succession of plant species through seed dispersal.

An Excursion to Canada is a remarkable work by Thoreau, very different from his other works. Here he becomes an American traveler who shows far greater respect for America than Canada, while explaining the details of the chasm between the Church (Black) and the soldiers (Red) in Quebec that Stendhal pointed out in The Red and the Black in France. Something like DeTocqueville's Democracy in America, but here Canada is the country under the microscope.

Walden or, "Life in the Woods", is, primarily, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. Henry David Thoreau kept a journal during his stay in a cabin beside Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts, for two years, two months, and two days, from July 1845 to Sept 1847. The book is based on that journal.

From the purple grasses of August, to the yellow elms of October, to the scarlet oak leaves of November, Henry David Thoreau casts his eye on the brilliant colors of autumn and guides us on a journey through the season's bounty. In this classic essay, first published in 1862, Thoreau delights in fall's foliage and reveals both a practical and philosophical understanding of the changing environment.

In the early 1850s, Henry David Thoreau took many meditative walks along the coast. In Cape Cod he reflects on these beach-combing trips and the powerful forces of the sea.

In 1849, Henry David Thoreau argued in his essay “Civil Disobedience” that people should not allow governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that people have the right to avoid such submission to permit the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was partly motivated by his abhorrence with slavery and the Mexican-American War. His work has inspired great leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Martin Buber.

Henry David Thoreau är en populär amerikansk författare, poet och filosof. Han var en livslång förkämpe, anhängare av civil olydnad againts orättvisa eller korrupta goverments och han försvarade tanken att lämna illusoriska saker till förmån för det enkla livet, för att upptäcka autentiska grundläggande behov i livet. Han är mest känd för Walden eller liv i skogen, den bok han skrev under sin tvååriga experiment i minimalistisk levande: byggde sig en stuga i skogen, han stannade där för att studera, skriva och njuta av hans nya gemenskap med naturen.

Compiled from magazine articles published in the 1850s after his death, Cape Cod details several short trips Thoreau made to "the bare and bended arm of Massachusetts" between 1849 and 1855. "He went to the Cape out of curiosity," explains Paul Theroux, "but in the course of his travel a great thing happened: Thoreau, the woodsman and landlubber, discovered the sea."

In diesem Abschnitt beschreibt Thoreau nicht nur, wie er sich durch den Anbau von Bohnen selbst versorgte, sondern reflektiert zugleich über Arbeit, Natur, Eigenständigkeit und den Sinn eines einfachen Lebens. Zwischen nüchterner Alltagsbeschreibung und philosophischer Tiefe entsteht ein faszinierendes Bild eines Menschen, der sich bewusst vom modernen Leben abwendet – und dadurch neue Klarheit gewinnt.

Über das Hörbuch: In Wo ich lebte und wofür ich lebte , einem der zentralen Kapitel aus Walden oder Leben in den Wäldern , schildert Henry David Thoreau seine Gründe für den Rückzug in die Natur. Zwei Jahre lang lebte er in einer selbstgebauten Hütte am Walden-See – einfach, unabhängig und im Einklang mit der Natur. Dieses Kapitel verbindet nüchterne Alltagsschilderung mit tiefgründigen Gedanken über das Wesen des Menschen, die Freiheit, den Konsum – und das bewusste Leben.
