John Seymour

    12 juin 1914 – 14 septembre 2004

    John Seymour était un idéaliste de toute une vie, envisageant un monde où les individus ne sont pas aliénés de leur travail. Son œuvre explore en profondeur les questions rurales, l'autosuffisance et l'environnementalisme, soulignant souvent le lien profond entre l'humanité et la nature. À travers ses écrits abondants, il a fait preuve d'un esprit vif et d'une perspicacité aiguë pour critiquer la société moderne et son impact sur la planète. Sa prose incarne un désir persistant d'une existence plus simple et plus significative.

    • Embrace off-grid green living and imagine a more sustainable future with the original guide to self-sufficiency. For over 40 years, John Seymour has inspired thousands to make more eco-friendly choices with his advice on living sustainably. The New Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency offers step-by-step instructions on everything from chopping trees to harnessing solar power; from growing fruit and vegetables, and preserving and pickling your harvest, to baking bread, brewing beer, and making cheese. Seymour shows you how to live off the land, running your own smallholding or homestead, and raising (and butchering) livestock. In a world of mass production, intensive farming, and food miles, Seymour's words offer an alternative: a celebration of investing time, labour, and love into the things we need. While we won't all be able to move to the countryside, we can appreciate the need to eat food that has been grown ethically or create things we can cherish, using skills that have been handed down through generations. This bestselling classic is a balm for anyone who has ever sought solace away from the madness of modern life.
