Hardback. Condition: Good. This latest collection of walking literature from Notting Hill Editions celebrates the lure and allure of the European continent and its sights, sounds and aromas--brought into even sharper relief when traveling it by foot. On foot we are close to things. Closer to the European continent's alpine ranges, arterial rivers, expansive coastlines; to ancient and magisterial cities with their buildings and gardens and mysterious thoroughfares; in the company of memorable strollers out basking on the piazzas and boulevards. Sauntering features over fifty writers--classic and current, native and visitor--who laud, lament, and explore all things European. Twenty-two countries are covered on foot. Writers include Henriette D'Angeville, the second woman to climb Mont Blanc; Joanna Kavenna roaming the glacial wastes of Iceland; Norman Lewis observing the paseo in provincial Spain; and Robert Macfarlane dropping deep into underground Paris. And what readers will take from these vivid accounts of place and people is another thing: a picture of the type of walker making his or her way across Europe. Be it mountaineer or pilgrim, explorer or flaneur, war reporter or psycho-geographer. They and others cross the pages with style and drama and always with insight. Enjoy following them en route. . . .…
