あらすじ・解説
A sweet and beautiful story of a man, a dog, and the redemptive nature of a good walk from award-winning author David W. Berner.
A man, his dog, and a long walk can lead to unexpected discoveries. In the tradition of many literary walkers, David W. Berner sets out on foot hoping to reexamine his life, look back and forward, and most importantly, through the help of his young dog, Sam, try to find harmony in new beginnings and the uncertainties of the present.
In a series of chapters, each dedicated to one walk during a summer of hiking, the author finds that it is his beloved pet that allows him to awaken to a new spirit of mindfulness, finding beauty, wonder, and comfort in the ordinary, and to see a life, a neighborhood, and even a country with brand new eyes.
James Dodson, the best-selling author of Faithful Travelers, The Dewsweepers, Final Rounds, A Golfer's Life with Arnold Palmer, and The Range Bucket List: "The poet Wallace Stevens wrote that sometimes the answer comes with a walk around the lake. In my case, it's a daily walk around the neighborhood at dawn with the dogs that provides an answer to the unknown challenges of the day. Writer David W. Berner knows this truth better than most, a timeless phenomenon splendidly explored and revealed in his wise and insightful Walks with Sam, a moving memoir about how a young dog can teach an old man new tricks about mindfulness and presence. Hard to remember when I've enjoyed a walk with two friends more, a reminder of the important things dogs help us discern about ourselves - and the world around us."
批評家のレビュー
"Berner's plainspoken manner reveals moments of true enlightenment. Dog lovers and spirtualists will adore this." (Publishers Weekly)
