The Joy of Walking

Angebote / Angebote:

And with leisure and my thoughts I walk the fields, unfettered by bounds of space or time' The Joy of Walking brings together essays, fiction and poetry which celebrate the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other.Walking has long been a source of inspiration and creativity to writers. Many, such as William Wordsworth and Walt Whitman, extol the virtues of walking in the countryside either alone or in the company of friends, whilst others such as Charles Dickens and E. M. Forster explore the thrill and dangers of moving about the city. For women writers such as Emily Brontë and Elizabeth Gaskell, they show walking to be a route to freedom and privacy. And many describe how walking can be healing - surely a valuable lesson in today's frenetic world.Edited and introduced by Suzy Cripps.
