The book Walden and Civil Disobedience is a biographical novel by Henry David Thoreau which follows the writer's life reflections. Thoreau emphasizes themes like individuality and anti-materialism which compels the reader to reflect on the life they are living. Not only does the book follow the growth and reflection of the writer but the reader follows the journey of the writer and unconsciously implements changes in their life based on the book.
