Većina nas knjigoljubaca želi da ima neku kućicu u prirodi, gdje ćemo moći, stalno ili povremeno da uživamo u miru i tišini. Mark Boyle je čovjek koji živi takvim životom u brvnari koju je izgradio na malom domaćinstvu u Istočnom Galway-u u Irskoj. Samo je on otišao u malo ekstremnijem pravcu za većinu ljudi. Naime, Mark Boyle se odrekao tehnologije. Ne koristi ni telefon, ni veš mašinu, ni računar, pa čak ni upaljač. Zapravo on i nema struje. Čovjek se vratio par vijekova u nazad i živi život zajedno sa prirodom. Prije odluke o ovakvom životu je živio 3 godine bez novca o čemu je napisao knjigu "The Moneyless Man". Ovo nije knjiga o pukom preživljavanju. Boyle piše o mnogim temama, ljudskim odnostima, prirodi, ekonomiji i raznim životnim situacijama. Dieses Buch ist der Abschluss der „Little House Series“, da viele Fans der Reihe wissen wollten, wie es mit Laura und Almanzo (Manly) weiterging, nachdem Laura nach Almanzos Tod nicht mehr an der Reihe weiterschreiben wollte. 1962 gab Rose Wilder Lane, Lauras Tochter, dem Bitten der vielen Fans nach und tippte das Tagebuch ihrer Mutter über die Reise von DeSmet nach Mansfield zur veröffentlich ab. From the title, you may have guessed that the author wrote this entire book in longhand using pencil and paper! Mark Boyle left the business world, built a cabin in rural Ireland, and disconnected from technology. I half expected to be preached at, but instead this is an honest account of his ongoing struggle with how far he can realize his goal. For example, he had an internal debate about putting a patch on his rubber tire on his bicycle, knowing that rubber comes from a great distance, and wondered whether he would be more true to himself if he abandoned his bicycle and walked instead. (He did patch the tire). I also assumed he must be something of a hermit, but Boyle doesn't reject people, only civilization. He enjoys socializing with the neighbours, walks to his village pub once a week, and has lots of company at his humble cabin. Mostly, though, his days are spent growing and foraging his own food, fetching his own water, and cutting his own firewood.

On the way home is a story of a girl called Claire who falls off a swing in the park and grazes her knee. ‘On her way home’ she bumps into a friend, who asks how she hurt herself. Claire decides to tell a dramatic tale of how a monster tried to grab her and through her struggle to escape, she fell and grazed her knee. As she continues to meet people on her way home, Claire tells a different dramatic and enticing tale of how her injury occurred. Katherine and her teenage daughter Alice move in with her estranged mother, Delilah. Escaping the family tension, Alice explores the farm and finds herself on a surprising journey to the past.

He mentions eating meat (deer) after being a lifelong vegetarian. My guess is he’d have to, to get energy for all the unforgiving work he has to do in a day.

Nachdem das junge Paar Laura und Manly Wilder mehrere Jahre in Folge nur Missernten einfgefahren haben, beschließen die beiden 1894 mit ihrer Tochte Rose von DeSmet nach Mansfield in das Land des großen roten Apfels zu ziehen. Mit der befreundeten Familie Cooley ziehen Laura, Manly und Rose mit einem Pferdegespann in die Ozarks in Missouri. Während dieser Reise führt Laura Tagebuch, damit sie den Lieben daheim getreulich berichten kann, was sie auf dieser Reise erlebt hat.Evan Williams as Elliot "El" Augustine, [6] a close friend of the Landry family and Alice's high school physics teacher The author describes his life in a wooden cabin in rural Ireland, with no running water, no electricity, and no modern technology at all. No phone, no internet, not even anything battery-powered. As a result, the book was written using paper and a pencil. He describes the course of his life over a year, starting in winter, and dealing with the seasons as they change. I now can recognize the less than happy aspects of the Wilders’ lives. There is a definite hopelessness in this family. They went through so much, and they were leaving their family for an unknown future in Mansfield. Rose, who contributes the prologue and epilogue, seems to harbor a lot of bitterness, and I don’t know if I can blame her. It was jarring to see Laura in a less-than-shining light, but she doesn’t seem to give her daughter much attention. Rose is only mentioned by name 3-4 times throughout the whole journal. She also seems very distant toward Rose. It was definitely a different glimpse of my childhood hero.

Es ist eigentlich nicht ganz korrekt, dass Laura Ingalls Wilder als Autor des Buches angegeben ist, denn Rose versah die Aufzeichnungen mit einem Vor- und Nachwort in denen sie die Ereignisse abrundet, wie sie sie als Kind erlebt hat und sich an sie erinnert. Man sieht diese Reise also aus zwei Perspektiven, der der erwachsenen Laura Ingalls Wilder und durch die Kinderaugen von Rose. Abgerundet wird dieser Bericht mit Fotos aus der damaligen Zeit.The author hates big business and Silicon Valley billionaires (Exhibit A: “Now I suspect that supporting a corporate football team is a sort of toxic substitute for our basic need to belong to a tribe who are all bound by the same common purpose. But when one player you roared on one season signs for a rival club the next, for 90 million Euros, the joke starts to wear thin.”)

Try some role-play activities involving Claire. Can you interview her to find out how she felt at different points in the story? Could you find out why she gave so many different reasons for hurting her knee? When Claire eventually arrives home to her mum we see her finally tell the truth and although she bursts into tears we know she is going to be fine as she cheekily asks for 'the biggest plaster in the box' About half of 'On the Way Home' is Laura's diary notes -- the rest is written by Rose with supplementary information. Included are many photographs taken around the same time as the Wilder's drive to Missouri; I loved all the photographs as it really helped to "set the scene". I did not find this modern-day Thoreau so much making a statement as holding up a mirror to a world where the boundaries of human and electrically-driven technology are becoming increasingly porous, and asking, is this really a life well-lived? While I suspect that most who read his book won't embrace the same life he did (in the end, even Kirsty does not), his narrative invites us to ask what kind of life we are embracing, and is it truly life-giving? How are our minds and bodies and communities being shaped by our advancing technology? How in touch are we with our elemental connection with the earth from which we come and to which we will return? It seems that for each of us, asking these questions are important for finding "the way home." From the very start a relaxed and engaging accounting of Mark Boyle’s adventure in living for one year without technology. Mixed in with digressions of interesting personal anecdotes are Boyle’s philosophies that are based on scientific fact and not at all self-righteous or pretentious.The press and our audience have enthusiastically embraced 'The Way Home' from the first episode making the decision to renew the series an easy one,” said Lisa Hamilton Daly, Executive Vice President, Programming, Hallmark Media. “We’re thrilled to be able to continue the journey of the Landry family and can’t wait for fans to see what’s next.” A friend of mine loaned me a thin hard cover book of the diary of a trip from South Dakota to Mansfield, Missouri in 1894 by Laura Ingalls Wilder 1867-1957). The forward of the book is written by Rose Wilder Lane (1886-1968) the daughter of LIW. There are a number of pictures in the book which I found most interesting.
