Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau
videorecording (DVD) - 2026
Nineteenth-century writer Henry David Thoreau helped shape ecology, modern environmentalism, and nonviolent resistance, yet his life has often been reduced to the myth of a solitary hermit by a pond. In truth, he was a teacher, scientist, and outspoken activist who engaged deeply with society while continually questioning its values. Living in a nation struggling to uphold its ideals amid corruption, slavery, and the forced removal of Indigenous Peoples Thoreau sought truth and a meaningful life in what he described as a culture of "quiet desperation." This pursuit led him to live simply and deliberately for two years in a cabin he built at Walden Pond, before returning to society to share what he had learned. The author of Walden, Civil Disobedience, and numerous essays, journals, and books, Thoreau's words resonate urgently today as humanity seeks to live in harmony with nature and with one another.
