Krátky popis
What does it mean to be out walking in the world, whether in a
landscape or a metropolis, on a pilgrimage or a protest march?
Rebecca Solnit draws together many histories to create a range of
possibilities for this most basic act. Arguing that walking as
history means walking for pleasure and for political, aesthetic,
and social meaning, Solnit homes in on the walkers whose everyday
and extreme acts have shaped our culture, from the peripatetic
philosophers of ancient Greece to the poets of the Romantic Age,
from the perambulations of the Surrealists to the ascents of
mountaineers. With profiles of some of the most significant walkers
in history and fiction - from Wordsworth to Gary Snyder, from
Rousseau to Argentina's Mother of the Plaza de Mayo, from Jane
Austen's Elizabeth Bennet to Andre Breton's Nadja - Wanderlust
offers a provocative and profound examination of the interplay
between the body, the imagination, and the world around the walker.
