Description
Richard Holmes's groundbreaking work of biographical exploration, published alongside its sister volume 'Sidetracks', revolutionized the genre with its unique blend of travel, biographical sleuthing, and personal memoir. First published in 1985, 'Footsteps' broke all conventions and remains one of the most captivating works of modern literary exploration.
Through a series of journeys, Holmes retraces the footsteps of literary giants, from the Cevennes to Revolutionary Paris, and from the Gulf of Spezia to the Italian countryside. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the authors he encounters, Holmes weaves a narrative that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
This new edition of 'Footsteps' offers a fresh perspective on a work that has become a benchmark for biographical exploration. If you're interested in the intersection of literature, history, and travel, this book is a worthwhile read.
