TO LIVE DELIBERATELY
Where I Lived, and What I Lived ForBy Henry David Thoreau
Illustrated by Evan Robertson
Henry David Thoreau dropped the gauntlet with Walden in 1854, and it is more relevant than ever.
To Live Deliberately is our visual reimagining of Thoreau's most well known essay, Where I Lived and What I Lived For. Accompanied by 30 illustrations, the essay challenges the trappings of modern living and embraces an ascetic rejection of the material and the trivial in exchange for a reconnection with nature as a path toward self discovery.
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.
