The 36 lectures of this sparkling series from a frequently honored teacher is an outstanding place to begin.

Là, au fond des bois, il mène pendant deux ans une vie frugale et autarcique, qui lui laisse tout le loisir de méditer sur le sens de l'existence, la société et le rapport des êtres humains à la Nature. Une réflexion sereine qui montre qu'il faut s'abstraire du monde et de ses désirs pour devenir réellement soi-même.

On sent qu'on va passer des dimanches après-midi à regarder la télévision. Ou pire : chez les beaux-parents. Finalement, il se dit qu'un jus ça serait bien. Oui, un jus, c'est sympathique.
