Nature was the fountainhead of his inspiration and his refuge from what he considered the follies of society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeedless of his friends' advice to live in a more orthodox manner, he determinedly pursued his own inner bent-that of a poet-philosopher-in prose and verse. Edited by noted Thoreau scholar Jeffrey S. Cramer, this edition promises to be the new standard for those interested in discovering the great thinker's influential ideas about everything from environmentalism to limited government.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available from Whimsy and Wonder with New Zealand delivery or Christchurch pickup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43891399229476,"sku":"B9780143106500","price":41.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/2253\/5460\/files\/penguin-random-house-the-portable-thoreau-book.jpg?v=1785751511","url":"https:\/\/whimsyandwonder.co.nz\/products\/the-portable-thoreau","provider":"Whimsy \u0026 Wonder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
