"Ripples from Walden Pond" by Richard Platt One of America’s most influential thinkers is brought to life with passion and humor. Henry David Thoreau looks back on his life, the influence of his mother who hid slaves, his experience as a teacher, building and living in his Walden Pond cabin, his friendship with Ralph Waldo Emerson, and his reflections on a citizen’s obligations to his government, society, and himself. This dramatic distillation of Thoreau’s life, beliefs, and philosophy, is highly accessible, relevant to our times, and immensely entertaining. Featuring Steve Smith as Thoreau.
