Walking Stories

---

Beschreibung:

The act of walking inspires a dizzying variety of stories, from M. R. James's tale of a ghost cursed to wander forever, to 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.
