Weary of London's grind, a clerk ditches his job for a countryside cottage, chasing true simplicity. Facing leaky roofs, poor harvests, and isolation, he shatters pastoral illusions while finding joy in nature and self-reliance. This candid memoir mixes humor and philosophy, exploring modern excess versus soulful minimalism, and what really enriches life.
