NOTES
In our age of overconsumption, Henry Thoreau's fiery criticisms of consumer culture and his poetic defense of simpler living have never been more relevant or necessary. But Thoreau is not an easy writer to read. His sentences are often very dense and his ideas are often challenging and provocatively expressed.

This concise introduction provides a deep but accessible overview of Thoreau's philosophy of voluntary simplicity
