Walden, and On The Duty Of Civil Disobedience
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textA man moves into a small cabin by a pond to find out how little he actually needs, and reports back, at some length and with considerable satisfaction, that it was less than he expected. The essay on civil disobedience that travels with it argues a conscience outranks a law. Between them they have talked more reluctant activists into their first protest than most political pamphlets manage.
