このコンテンツについて

“What [Ekelund is] addressing is the intention to walk one’s way to meaning: the walk as spiritual exercise, a kind of vision quest.... A key strategy for finding ourselves, then, is to first get lost.” (The New York Times Book Review)

An ode to paths and the journeys we take through nature, as told by a gifted writer who stopped driving and rediscovered the joys of traveling by foot.

Torbjørn Ekelund started to walk - everywhere - after an epilepsy diagnosis affected his ability to drive. The more he ventured out, the more he came to love the act of walking, and an interest in paths emerged. In this poignant, meandering book, Ekelund interweaves the literature and history of paths with his own stories from the trail. As he walks with shoes on and barefoot, through forest creeks and across urban streets, he contemplates the early tracks made by ancient snails and traces the wanderings of Romantic poets, among other musings. If we still “understand ourselves in relation to the landscape”, Ekelund asks, then what do we lose in an era of car travel and navigation apps? And what will we gain from taking to paths once again?

“A charming read, celebrating the relationship between humans and their bodies, their landscapes, and one another.” (The Washington Post)

This book was made possible in part thanks to generous support from NORLA.

批評家のレビュー

“What [Ekelund]'s addressing is the intention to walk one’s way to meaning: the walk as spiritual exercise, a kind of vision quest in which the answers we arrive at are less important than the impulse to seek them.” (David Ulin, New York Times)

“This lovely book taps into something primeval in us all.” (Star Tribune)

“[R]ethinking the social, historical, and spiritual needs that are met by putting one foot in front of the other.” (Outside Magazine)
