About this listen

Embark on a journey of moral courage and social conscience with “On the Duty of Civil Disobedience” audiobook, a timeless manifesto penned by the celebrated American philosopher and transcendentalist, Henry David Thoreau. Narrated with passion and clarity, this audiobook brings to life Thoreau’s powerful call to individual conscience and nonviolent resistance in the face of unjust laws and government oppression.

Through eloquent prose and profound insight, Thoreau challenges listeners to question the authority of the state and to act in accordance with their own principles of justice and morality. Drawing upon his own experiences living in solitude by Walden Pond, Thoreau articulates the principles of civil disobedience as a moral imperative, arguing that individuals have a duty to resist unjust laws and institutions through nonviolent means.

In this audiobook rendition, Thoreau’s timeless message resonates with renewed relevance, offering listeners a blueprint for ethical action in an age of political turmoil and social unrest. Whether you’re a student of philosophy, a champion of social justice, or simply a seeker of truth and meaning, “On the Duty of Civil Disobedience” will inspire and empower you to stand up for what you believe in and to strive for a more just and equitable society
