Embark on a journey through the ethical and political landscape sculpted by the resolute hand of Henry David Thoreau in his acclaimed essay, "Civil Disobedience." Thoreau, with a spirit unperturbed by the tumultuous laws of man and a soul deeply intertwined with the unwavering morality of nature, crafts a masterpiece that transcends mere words on a page.

This edition, adorned with 15 emotive illustrations, invites you to traverse through Thoreau’s profound contemplations and peaceful insurgence against government, law, and societal norms with an aesthetic embrace that enhances each potent word and echoing thought. Each visual, intricately designed, elevates the textual resonance of Thoreau's work, offering a rich, immersive experience into his world of philosophical and moral explorations.

Thoreau’s "Civil Disobedience" emerges not merely as an essay but as a call, a beckoning, towards moral awakening and the virtue of individual resistance against collective injustice. Thoreau, imprisoned for his refusal to support an unjust war and the harrowing institution of slavery through tax, presents himself not as a mere man but as a steadfast beacon of principled defiance.

In this definitive edition, delve deeper into Thoreau's contemplative prose with the aid of a concise summary and a character list that navigates through the abstract and literal entities within the text. Moreover, an enthralling biography of Henry David Thoreau is included to provide readers with a window into the life and mind of the illustrious writer, revealing the man behind the potent words that have inspired generations of activists, thinkers, and leaders.

Witness the transformative power of a single, determined voice against the behemoth of societal and governmental oppression. Traverse through the untamed wilderness of ethics and discover within Thoreau’s words a sanctuary where the resilient seeds of resistance, and perhaps, revolution, are sown.

Be captivated, be stirred, and perhaps, be changed, as you unravel the threads of "Civil Disobedience," a timeless testament to the unyielding power of individual conviction amidst the multifaceted specter of societal conformity and injustice.

    The narrow Darién Gap, the only land bridge connecting South and Central America, encompasses a spectacularly hostile jungle, covered in steep mountains, dense rainforests, and flood-prone marshes. Known in Spanish as el infierno verde, or “the green hell,” it is one of the most inhospitable places in the world. Its terrain is too treacherous for roads, yet hundreds of thousands of refuge seekers contend with its horrors every year in the hopes of reaching the United States, still some three thousand miles away. And of the countless who set out for the border, an untold number never arrive. In this book, journalist Belén Fernández travels through the Darién Gap to report on the dehumanizing and deadly stretch of land that has become a mass graveyard for migrants. Fernández’s journey brings her into contact with refuge seekers, people smugglers, law enforcement officials, and many more whose stories bring life to a place overwhelmingly associated with death. Combining history, on-the-ground reporting, travelogue, memoir, and searing politico-economic analysis, she shines light on a largely made-in-the-USA crisis that has come to define our modern era.
