Caminar la vida

In Walking Life, the renowned anthropologist returns to one of the topics that he is most passionate about to show us a new, interdisciplinary and very accessible approach to the experience of walking. Breaking with an excessive routine life, rediscovering the world through the body and contact with nature, surprising ourselves with small or great discoveries, or simply suspending the worries of everyday life for a few hours, are some of the benefits that it grants us. a practice as old as it is accessible. David Le Breton offers in this essay a new and extensive compendium of philosophical and literary legacies, from Basho to Thoreau or Peter Matthiessen, which evoke and explain, in clear and direct language, the meaning and therapeutic virtues of walking in a world governed increasingly due to technology, sedentary lifestyle and immobilization.
