Una guía sobre el arte de perderse

Written as a series of autobiographical essays, Solnit draws on prominent moments and relationships in her life to explore topics such as uncertainty, trust, loss, memory, desire, and places. While deeply personal, his own stories tie in with more profound ones, from captive narratives of early Americans to the use of blue in Renaissance painting, not to mention his encounters with turtles, monks, punk rockers, mountains, deserts and the movie Vertigo. The result is a peculiar journey of discovery, stimulating and scholarly. Beautifully written, A Guide to the Art of Getting Lost sheds a bright new light on the way we live now. Drawing on disciplines as diverse as philosophy, history and art, Solnit talks about loss, losing and losing oneself, and explores the challenges of living in uncertainty.
