Synopsis of J'aurais pu devenir millionnaire, j'ai choisi d'être vagabond

This biographical work by Alexis Jenni chronicles the fascinating life of John Muir, the legendary naturalist and founder of Yosemite National Park. The book explores how Muir, after rejecting a life dedicated to industry and the accumulation of wealth, chose to embrace freedom and autonomy by living in the heart of nature, becoming a symbol of the fight for environmental conservation.

Through its pages, the author invites us to reflect on the meaning of life in a modern, industrialized society, contrasting it with Muir's philosophy of life. It is an essential read for those seeking inspiration in nature and in the stories of those who, like Muir, chose a different path to find their purpose.
