Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
In 1550, Etienne de La Boetie wrote his classic work of
political reflection, "Discourse of Voluntary Servitude," which
laid the ground work for the concept of civil disobedience, and as
such, has exerted an important influence on the traditions of
dissidence from Thoreau and Ralph Emerson, to Tolstoy, to
Gandhi.
Along with the complete text of "Discourse of Voluntary
Servitude," this edition includes a comprehensive 100-page
biography, written by 19th century author Paul Bonnefon, on the
life and times of de La Boetie. It was the only one ever written,
and it has never before been published in English.
