DESCRIPTION
"I
went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately,
I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life,
To put to rout all that was not life and not when I had
come to die Discover that I had not lived."
Henry David Thoreau withdrew from the rat race, taking
up a simple existence in an attempt to see life for what
it really is. And so, this book is at once a sharp observation
of life as we live it, and a search for clarity, conscience
and a better mode of living. The book is a pleasant reading
experience due to Thoreau's wit and poetic style, but
true reader satisfaction comes from his vision and philosophical
insight that is still richly relevant today, 150 years
after he wrote it.
