Inspired by a passage from Henry David Thoreau's WALDEN, this wonderfully appealing story follows two friends who have very different approaches to life. When the two agree to meet one evening in Fitchburg, which is thirty miles away, each decides to get there in his own way and have surprisingly different days. The overall idea, illustrating Thoreau's point to his friend that going someplace on foot was more fulfilling than earning money to go there by train, is interesting. Most of the details, however, will be well over the audience's heads, whether it be the names of 19th-century American thinkers and authors, or the simple geography of greater Boston. If I were a greater fan of Johnson's art style or of the Transcendentalists, I might feel more enthusiastic, but I am not. Inspired by a passage from Walden, this story follows two friends who have very different approaches to life.

The two have drastically different journeys...with surprisingly similar results. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
