{"product_id":"2940046217193","title":"Thoughts of Thoreau","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn his own day, Henry David Thoreau was not a highly influential personality, more a minor irritation to the Establishment with his views that were regarded as akin to advocating anarchy and his anti-slavery sentiments. He was one of the first to put forward the concept of civil disobedience as a way to counter bad government, which was later adopted with notable success by Gandhi and others. But he was also a poet, environmentalist, teacher, philosopher and essayist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday he is recognised as a great thinker, well ahead of his time. His writings contain a great deal of wisdom and idealism. In this book, you will find many quotations to provoke thought and discussion and raise questions that are very relevant to our own day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MTB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083779784944,"sku":"2940046217193","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940046217193_p0.jpg?v=1764000211","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940046217193","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
