About this audiobook
Civil Disobedience is Henry David Thoreau's influential essay on conscience, government, individual responsibility, and moral resistance. Written after Thoreau's refusal to pay a tax he believed supported slavery and the Mexican-American War, the essay argues that citizens should not surrender their moral judgment to the state when laws become unjust. With direct and uncompromising force, Thoreau questions the authority of majority rule, the limits of political obedience, and the responsibility of the individual to act according to conscience. His ideas would later influence major figures and movements committed to nonviolent resistance, civil rights, and social reform. This Audiobook was narrated using AI-generated voice technology.
