Description
Rebecca Solnit's Wanderlust is a thought-provoking exploration of the act of walking and its many forms. The book weaves together a range of historical and cultural perspectives to examine the ways in which walkers have sought pleasure, freedom, and connection with the world around them.
From the philosophers of Ancient Greece to the writers of the Romantic era, Solnit considers the complex interplay between the body, imagination, and world that occurs when we walk. This rich and varied history is both profound and provocative, inviting us to look anew at the ways in which walking has shaped our understanding of ourselves and the world.
Written by a writer, historian, and activist, Wanderlust is a nuanced and engaging exploration of the power of walking to shape our lives and our understanding of the world.
