To Live Deliberately, Henry David Thoreau (Illustrated)
Immerse yourself in the timeless wisdom of Henry David Thoreau’s most iconic essay, Where I Lived and What I Lived For, reimagined in this beautifully illustrated edition. Through thoughtful illustration and typography, To Live Deliberately brings Thoreau’s perspective into sharp focus for modern readers, offering a fresh take on his call to simplicity and self-discovery.
NOTE: We judiciously edited his essay to avoid any unnecessarily confusing news references, and were amazed to discover that not only does this manifesto otherwise hold up, but feels surprisingly modern and more relevant than ever. Thoreau's rejection of news as largely gossip, and the obsession with travel and railroads as idle self indulgence bear a sobering resemblance to our modern preoccupation with social media and internet surfing. In both instances, the impulse to seek distraction is the same.
