Drawing together many histories - of anatomical evolution and city design, of treadmills and labyrinths, of walking clubs and sexual mores - Rebecca Solnit creates a fascinating portrait of the range of possibilities presented by walking. Arguing that the history of walking includes walking for pleasure as well as for political, aesthetic, and social meaning, Solnit focuses on the walkers whose everyday and extreme acts have shaped our culture, from philosophers to poets to mountaineers. She profiles some of the most significant walkers in history and fiction - from Wordsworth to Gary Snyder, from Jane Austen’s Elizabeth Bennet to Andre Breton’s Nadja - finding a profound relationship between walking and thinking and walking and culture. Solnit argues for the necessity of preserving the time and space in which to walk in our ever more car-dependent and accelerated world

L'histoire de la marche est explorée comme une activité en soi et pas seulement comme moyen de locomotion : les pèlerinages, le nomadisme des comédiens et des musiciens, la marche propice à la réflexion et à la création pour les auteurs et les penseurs. Le sujet est surtout vu sous un angle occidental avec quelques pratiques asiatiques, sud-américaines et africaines.

Wandelen is waarschijnlijk de meest simpele en dagelijkse bezigheid die we kennen. In een wereld waar het steeds makkelijker is geworden om ons snel en zonder fysieke inspanning te verplaatsen, laat cultuurhistorica en bekroonde bestsellerauteur Rebecca Solnit ons zien hoe belangrijk het is om te lopen, nietig te zijn in een eindeloos landschap, te wandelen zonder te weten waarnaartoe, of te verdwalen in een stad.Solnit verbindt de evolutie van het menselijk lichaam – ons vermogen om rechtop te staan en ons voort te bewegen – met de belangrijkste wandelaars uit de geschiedenis en literatuur: van Kierkegaard, Thoreau en Gary Snyder tot Jane Austens romanpersonage Elizabeth Bennet. Wanderlust is een fascinerend, persoonlijk portret waarin Solnit de diepgaande, onlosmakelijke relatie tussen wandelen en denken blootlegt.

In 1981, Rebecca Solnit rented a studio apartment in San Francisco that would be her home for the next twenty-five years. There, she began to come to terms with the epidemic of violence against women around her, the street harassment that unsettled her, and the authority figures that routinely disbelieved her. That violence weighed on her as she faced the task of having a voice in a society that preferred women to shut up or go away. Set in the era of punk, of growing gay pride, of counter culture and West Coast activism, during the latter years of second wave feminism, Recollections of My Non-Existence is the foundational story of an emerging artist struggling against patriarchal violence and scorn. Recalling the experience of living with fear, which Solnit contends is the normal state of women, she considers how oppression impacts on creativity and recounts the struggle to find a voice and have it be heard. Place and the growing culture of activism liberated her, as did the magical world of literature and books. And over time, the clamour of voices against violence to women coalesced in the current feminist upheaval, a movement in which Solnit was a widely audible participant. Here is an electric account of the pauses and gains of feminism in the past forty years; and an extraordinary portrait of an artist, by a seminal American writer.

"A beautiful, absorbing, tragic book."-Larry McMurtryIn 1851, a war began in what would become Yosemite National Park, a war against the indigenous inhabitants. A century later-in 1951-and a hundred and fifty miles away, another war began when the U.S. government started setting off nuclear bombs at the Nevada Test Site. It was called a nuclear testing program, but functioned as a war against the land and people of the Great Basin. In this foundational book of landscape theory and environmental thinking, Rebecca Solnit explores our national Eden and Armageddon and offers a pathbreaking history of the west, focusing on the relationship between culture and its implementation as politics. In a new preface, she considers the continuities and changes of these invisible wars in the context of our current climate change crisis, and reveals how the long arm of these histories continue to inspire her writing and hope.
