Walking Stories, Gebunden

Klappentext

The act of walking inspires a dizzying variety of stories, from Bill Bryson's comic A Walk in the Woods to M. R. James's tale of a ghost cursed to wander forever, and from the thrilling true account of a woman who escaped from an Auschwitz death march to a dreamy tale by Anais Nin about wandering in the labyrinth of memory. Here are comic stories and love stories, moments of adventure and of observation, of sleepwalking and of mental travelling, of strolling and of hiking, all set into glorious motion by a diverse array of great writers past and present.
