Book Reviews of Walden and Civil Disobedience (150th Anniversary) (Signet Classics)
Book Review: Book cover commercialization?
Summary: 5 Stars
A previous reviewer asked what Thoreau might think of how society has developed commercially since he wrote this book. I have to also wonder what he would think of the ridiculous (in my opinion) and jingoistic cover of this current edition? The person who chose the cover design should have read the book. The cover is offensive, given the ideas the book contains. Penguin should be ashamed.
Summary of Walden and Civil Disobedience (150th Anniversary) (Signet Classics)
Henry David Thoreau's masterwork, Walden, is a collection of his reflections on life and society. His simple but profound musings-as well as "Civil Disobedience," his protest against the government's interference with civil liberty-have inspired many to embrace his philosophy of individualism and love of nature.General Books
