Review
The classic text about living a simpler more deliberate life. Thoreau's
desire to rethink his life, relationship to society, architecture and
the objects around him, still holds interest today. As Martin Luther King,
Jr. said, "Our problem today is that we have allowed the internal
to become lost in the external . . . So much of modern life can be summarized
in that arresting dictum of the poet Thoreau: 'Improved means to an unimproved
end'." December 11, 1964.
