Description
Travelling Light: Journeys Among Special People and Places is a charming account of the pleasures of slow travel. Alastair Sawday, a campaigner, publisher and wanderer, shares his experiences and explores the value of travel in this deeply personal and erudite book.
Through his stories of people he has met on the road, places he has visited, and ideas he has encountered, Sawday reveals the beauty of slow travel and the importance of kindness, eccentricity and contemplation. From the countryside of rural Britain to the depths of France and the darker side of Sicily, he shows how every visit can uncover new differences.
This book is a gradual awakening to the fragility of everything we love through the power of conscious, slow journeying. It's a story for those who yearn to understand the world and make sense of its infinite variety, without feeling the need to climb mountains or create great institutions.
