His books, essays, journals, poems, letters, and unpublished manuscripts contain an inexhaustible treasure of epigrams and witticisms, from the famous ('The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation') to the obscure ('Who are the estranged? Two friends explaining') and the surprising ('I would exchange my immortality for a glass of small beer this hot weather'). \u003ci\u003eThe Quotable Thoreau\u003c\/i\u003e, the most comprehensive and authoritative collection of Thoreau quotations ever assembled, gathers more than 2,000 memorable passages from this iconoclastic American author, social reformer, environmentalist, and self-reliant thinker. Including Thoreau's thoughts on topics ranging from sex to solitude, manners to miracles, government to God, life to death, and everything in between, the book captures Thoreau's profundity as well as his humour ('If misery loves company, misery has company enough'). Drawing primarily on \u003ci\u003eThe Writings of Henry D. Thoreau\u003c\/i\u003e, published by Princeton University Press, \u003ci\u003eThe Quotable Thoreau\u003c\/i\u003e is thematically arranged, fully indexed, richly illustrated, and thoroughly documented. For the student of Thoreau, it will be invaluable. For those who think they know Thoreau, it will be a revelation. And for the reader seeking sheer pleasure, it will be a joy. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46803904954526,"sku":"ADS-9780691271033","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780691271033.jpg?v=1778207017","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780691271033","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
