Henry David Thoreau

S01E03 Several More Lives to Live

After spending two years at Walden Pond, Thoreau reenters society to apply the lessons he learned about responsible living. He embarks on fresh “experiments” as a surveyor, scientist, and abolitionist, making two additional trips to Maine that reveal even more profound insights about life and the universe. As a chronic illness starts to take its toll, he writes with increasing urgency, compelled to share his newfound understanding.
