Book Synopsis
A reissue of a now classic American drama.If the law is of such a nature that it requires you to be
an agent of injustice to another, then I say, break the law." So wrote the young Henry David
Thoreau in 1849. Three years earlier, Thoreau had put his belief into action and refused to pay
taxes because of the United States government s involvement in the Mexican War, which Thoreau
firmly believed was unjust. For his daring and unprecedented act of protest, he was thrown in jail.
The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail is a celebrated dramatic presentation of this famous act of civil
disobedience and its consequences. Its poignant, lively, and accessible scenes offer a compelling
exploration of Thoreau s philosophy and life.
