About this product
Product Information
'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 travelling 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, amongst 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.

"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 "A charming read, celebrating the relationship between humans and their bodies, their landscapes, and one another." --The Washington Post "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 "[Urges] a return to our ambulatory origins...[N]ever low on zeal." --Wallstreet Journal "[Ekelund] invites his readers to join him on his chosen path, a path that involves regular walking with careful mindfulness. This is an invitation we should all accept." --The Vancouver Sun "A deeply fascinating meditation on the paths we take through our environment and our lives." -- Erling Kagge, author of Silence: In the Age of Noise and Walking: One Step at a Time "A quiet, reflective read." --Booklist "An easygoing, gently unfolding memoir, it soothes in difficult times." --Gail Perry, Winnipeg Free Press, "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 "A charming read, celebrating the relationship between humans and their bodies, their landscapes, and one another." --The Washington Post "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 "[Urges] a return to our ambulatory origins...[N]ever low on zeal." --Wall Street Journal "[Ekelund] invites his readers to join him on his chosen path, a path that involves regular walking with careful mindfulness.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
