In this extraordinarily wide-ranging, insightful, and revelatory
book, Tony Hiss is the much-praised author of The Experience of
Places delves into a unique and instantly recognizable (though
previously undescribed) experience that can happen to us when we
travel, a special understanding and ability that can leave us
feeling exhilarated. He illustrates how throughout human history -
from our ancestors walking upright for the first time to astronauts
walking on the moon - we have repeatedly availed ourselves of this
seemingly elusive quality, which he calls 'Deep Travel.' The
sensation of Deep Travel can overtake us, Hiss says, whenever we
tap into a sophisticated, wide-awake awareness we all possess. With
a wealth of examples - from evocative accounts of his own journeys
to celebrated travel writing across the centuries - Hiss identifies
and rescues this powerful capacity and sets out simple techniques
for accessing it no matter where we are. And this is only a
jumping-off point for an original and penetrating explanation of
how Deep Travel radically alters our perception of not only where
we are but also when we are, by placing us in an 'extended
present,' and how it acts as an open-sesame to enlarge and enrich
the world around us. Going even further, he investigates how we can
remain absolutely still but travel in time itself, as our horizons
move backward to include layers of nature and human culture that
have gone before, or project us forward to consider what our
actions will mean to those who will inhabit our spot on earth a few
generations from now. Whether travel takes you around the corner or
around the world, once you've read In Motion, no journey will ever
feel the same.
