Résumé
A Book that Transformed AmericaCivil Disobedience was Thoreau's first published book and continues to transform American discourse. It is unusual for its symbolism and structure, its criticism of Christian institutions, and its many-layered storytelling. The ideas presented in this essay have influenced some of the most powerful and influential people in history, including Martin Luther King Jnr, Leo Tolstoy, President John F. Kennedy and Ernest Hemingway. It was a seminal piece of work in the shaping of Gandhi’s three decade-long non-violent revolution against British-occupied India.

Philosophe, naturaliste et poète américain, Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), le « Rousseau américain », est l’un des chefs de file du mouvement transcendantaliste. En cédant à l’appel de la forêt, il a renouvelé le regard porté sur la nature et forgé la notion de « désobéissance civile ».
