9780241143742 - Brave Old World: A Month-by-Month Guide to Husbandry, or the Fine Art of Looking After Yourself di Hodgkinson, Tom (6 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Drawing on the wisdom of an eclectic range of thinkers and writers, on medieval calendars and manorial records, and, as ever, on Tom's own honestly recounted and frequently imperfect attempts to travel the road to self-sufficiency, Brave Old World is designed to give us all hope. Why, he asks, shouldn't we return to the ideals of a pre-capitalist, pre-Puritan, pre-consumerist world of feasting, dancing, horse-riding, wood-chopping, fire-laying, poultry-rearing, bartering, bread-baking and bee-keeping? From January to December, Brave Old World charts the progress of a year in pursuit of the pleasures of the past, taking seriously - though not without much incidental comedy - G.K. Chesterton's exhortation, 'We must go back to freedom or forward to slavery'. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Condizione: Muy bueno. : En 'Brave Old World', Tom Hodgkinson nos invita a reflexionar sobre la sabiduría de pensadores y escritores, calendarios medievales y registros señoriales, compartiendo sus propios intentos de autosuficiencia. El autor plantea la posibilidad de retornar a los ideales de un mundo pre-capitalista, pre-puritano y pre-consumista, donde se valoraba el festejo, el baile, la equitación, la leña, el fuego, la cría de aves, el trueque, el pan y la apicultura. A través de un recorrido de enero a diciembre, Hodgkinson explora los placeres del pasado, tomando en serio la exhortación de G.K. Chesterton: 'Debemos volver a la libertad o avanzar hacia la esclavitud'.
