Walden, or life in the forest. Toro G. D.

two years, two months and two days spent Henry Toro in a hut on the shore of the Waldensky pond, in voluntary isolation from society, engaged in agriculture, fishing, reading, abandoning the inventions of modern civilization unnecessary to him. The result of the recluse was the book “Walden, or Life in the Forest” - 18 essays on the construction of a hut, ways to manage, forest residents and nature. Colorful descriptions, accuracy of satire and temperamental controversy - from one of the first downshifters.

"Why live in such a hurry and so pointless to waste life?"

"Society, even the best, soon tires and distracts from serious thoughts."

“We are inspired by an exaggerated concept of the importance of our work, and meanwhile, how much we leave unlawed!” G. D. Toro.
