Rebecca Solnit: Wanderlust [2002] paperback

With profiles of some of the most significant walkers in history and fiction-from Wordsworth to Andre Breton's Nadja-Wanderlust offers a pastoral and poetic investigation of the interplay between the body, the imagination, and the world around the walker. Solnit argues passionately for the preservation of the time and space in which to walk in an ever-more car dependent and accelerated world.
