THOREAU A SUBLIME LIFE HC
Just in time to celebrate Thoreau's 200th birthday! "To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity and trust." This graphic novel biography relates the forward looking inspirational life of the great author, philosopher and pioneering ecologist. Henry David Thoreau was also the father of the concept, still fresh today (see all the recent protests) , of 'civil disobedience' which he used against slavery and the encroachment of government.
