具体描述
To save their marriage and their sanity, the author and his wife sold their belongings, packed up their two-year-old son, and moved to a rundown farmhouse in the country without any plans past surviving the year. Living as though it were the year 1900, they struggled with recalcitrant livestock, garden-destroying bugs, rain that would not come, and their own insecurities, to ultimately discover a sense of community and a sense of themselves that changed not only their marriage, but the entire Swoope, Virginia community. Lyrically told and powerfully evocative, this memoir for the modern age deals with the growing sense of disassociation and yearning to escape the frenetic pace of daily life in today’s society.

读后感
这本书是位住在美国的男人和他妻子，两个孩子远离城市的喧嚣，在乡村木屋生活的故事。如果说《荒野求生》是回归野人生活的故事，那这个可能就是回到自然生活的故事，他们重新回到了1900年的生活，穿简单天然的布料，使用马车，没有手机、电脑、信用卡。只有山羊，土拨鼠、蛇，...
评分居住在纽约，替《国家地理探险杂志》到全世界撰写报导文章的罗根．沃德，在公元二千年时，因工作压力太大而产生的身心焦虑，使他动念要实践一个「住到百年前的探险行动」；他买下了一座保持十九世纪状态的农庄，带着妻子和儿子，过起点油灯、打井水、驾马车、养羊养鸡、种菜、...

评分从前，我们普遍喜欢畅想未来几十年甚至100年后的生活，那时有很多作品还有文章都是写对未来生活的想象的。比如1993年，上海一家媒体搞了一次“我梦想中的未来中国和未来个人生活”的征文，想30年后再来对照。当时王朔、梁左等著名作家都曾受邀投稿，如今20年已过，作家们当年笔...
评分在豆瓣里翻看着各种书评人的页面，突然就失去了方向，到底谁会愿意来看这本书呢。于是决定与其思考，不如就像这本书的作者一样行动吧，自己先写一篇自吹自擂一番再说。 作者罗根在写这本书之前还是一个杂志的记者，应该就是我们经常很羡慕的那种工作，可以免费去很多好看的地...
