Krátky popis
Some heavy reading on the ecological and climate emergency leads
Cedric, a forty-something painter living in Paris, to question his
life choices. In a state of vulnerability, racked with eco-anxiety,
he is contacted by the spirit of Henry David Thoreau: writer,
environmentalist and the author of Walden. Two centuries separate
Cedric from the author who, depressed by the narrow materialism of
industrialised America, retreated to a single-room cabin in the
woods by Walden Pond.But as their Socratic dialogue continues,
Cedric notices striking parallels between the suffocating
commercialism of mid-19th-century America and the unsustainable,
alienating, tech-driven consumerism of today. Both societies are
shaped by a single priority - economic growth - that not only
squanders the earth's resources but separates human beings from
nature. Inspired by Thoreau's return to nature, Cedric begins
dreaming of his own retreat from urban life: his own
self-sufficient cabin in the woods.In Thoreau and Me, Cedric Taling
explores the causes and consequences of today's climate emergency.
Blending humour, philosophy and fiction, Taling asks how, at a time
of unprecedented ecological and climate breakdown, we can learn to
live with and respond to eco-anxiety.
