La désobéissance civile

by Henry David Thoreau

Overview

Poète, essayiste, mémorialiste, Thoreau est l'auteur de l'inoubliable Walden ou la Vie dans les bois. Près de cent cinquante ans après sa parution, La Désobéissance civile, qui s'ouvre sur cette pensée toujours actuelle: Le meilleur gouvernement est celui qui gouverne le moins, demeure l'un des plus beaux pamphlets contre L'Etat qui, d'André Gide à la Beat Génération, a exercé une influence déterminante.

About the Author

Massachusetts native Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) was a leading member of the American Transcendentalist movement, whose faith in nature was tested while Thoreau lived in a homemade hut at Walden Pond between 1845 and 1847. While there, Thoreau worked on the two books published in his lifetime: Walden and A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. The Maine Woods, Cape Cod, Excursions, and other works were published posthumously.
