Le style Art deacute;co fut eacute;rigeacute; sur les cendres drsquo;un monde deacute;vasteacute; par la premiegrave;re guerre mondiale. Srsquo;oubliant dans le tourbillon du Jazz Age et de lrsquo;ivresse des anneacute;es folles; la mince laquo; Garccedil;onne raquo; reflegrave;te le style architectural de lrsquo;Art deacute;co : aux sinusoiuml;des geacute;neacute;reuses sont deacute;sormais preacute;feacute;reacute;es la simpliciteacute; et la sobrieacute;teacute; de la droite androgyne... Architecture; peinture; mobilier et sculpture; analyseacute;s ici par lrsquo;auteur; revendiquent leur preacute;feacute;rence pour les lignes incisives et arbitraires; les angles casseacute;s et volontaires. Bien qursquo;eacute;pheacute;megrave;re; lrsquo;Art deacute;co continue encore drsquo;influencer le design contemporain.

His concerns about slavery and the Mexican-American War arent all that relevant anymore; but Thoreau says a lot of things that todays Republicans and Democrats argue about all day.Republicans will agree with how much he hates paying taxes; though few would stick to their guns as much as Thoreau did. "When I meet a government which says to me; Your money of your life; why should I be in haste to give it my money?"Democrats will agree with how he wants the government to help people even when they talk more than act. "He who gives himself entirely to his fellow men appears to them useless and selfish; but he who gives himself partially to them is pronounced a benefactor and philanthropist."0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Inner and Outer ObservationsBy jerry mcwilliamsThoreau knew himself and nature in intimate and spiritual terms in his writing of WALDEN. I; consequently know myself and nature betterthrough my many readings of WALDEN. Every time is like a first time; but with a greater bundle of observations and thoughts to touch intomy thinking and living.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. It goes deep. Inspirational.By Christopher ValleVery inspirational and a huge eye opener. This book inspired me to find myself. As soon as I finished reading it I booked a room and flight to Ireland. Ive always wanted to go but have been holding back. Ive yet to find what Im looking for; I leave in two weeks. I have a good feeling I will come back a different man... Thats my Thorean action thanks to this book.
