Sauntering: Writers Walk Europe Minshull Duncan
This latest collection of walking literature from Notting Hill Editions celebrates the allure of the Continent.On foot the world comes our way. Close to its ancient cities and mysterious thoroughfares; and close to the walkers themselves--the Grand Tourers and explorers, strollers and saunterers, on their hikes and quests, parades and urban drifts.Sauntering features sixty walker-writers--classic and current--who roam Europe by foot. We get close to the Continent's alpine ranges, arterial rivers, expansive coastlines.
We join Henriette d'Angeville, the second woman to climb Mont Blanc; Nellie Bly roaming the trenches of the First World War; Werner Herzog on a personal pilgrimage through Germany; Hans Christian Andersen in quarantine; Joseph Conrad in Cracow; Rebecca Solnit reimagining change on the streets of Prague; Twenty-two countries are traversed.
