Details

"The greater part of what my neighbors call good I believe in my soul to be bad. . . . I hear an irresistible voice which invites me away from all that." Henry David Thoreau followed that voice to Walden Pond. This graphic novel, narrated in Thoreau's own words, weaves together elements from Walden, "Civil Disobedience," "Walking," and Thoreau's journals to tell the story of his two years in the woods and of the night he spent in jail for refusing to pay a poll tax. Introduction. Afterword. Discussion of details in panels. Notes. Bibliography. Two-color art.
