A reissue of the profound and meandering modern classic about the
historical, political and philosophical paths traced by walkers.
What does it mean to be out walking in the world? From pilgrimages
to protest marches, mountaineering to meandering, this modern
classic weaves together numerous histories to trace a range of
possibilities for this most basic act. Touching on the philosophers
of Ancient Greece, the Romantic poets, Jane Austen's Elizabeth
Bennett, Andre Breton's Nadja, and more, Rebecca Solnit considers
what forms of pleasure and freedom walkers have sought at different
times. Profound and provocative, Wanderlust invites us to look
afresh at the rich, varied, often radical interplay of the body,
the imagination, and the world when walking. "Radical, humane,
witty, sometimes wonderfully dandyish, at other times, impassioned
and serious" - Alain de Botton
