The freedom in walking lies  in not being anyone  for the walking body has no history, it is just an  eddy in the stream of immemorial life.   In A Philosophy of Walking,  a bestseller in France, leading thinker Frederic Gros charts the many  different ways we get from A to B-the pilgrimage, the promenade, the  protest march, the nature ramble-and reveals what they say about us.\r\n\r\n Gros  draws attention to other thinkers who also saw walking as something  central to their practice. On his travels he ponders Thoreau's eager  seclusion in Walden Woods  the reason Rimbaud walked in a fury, while  Nerval rambled to cure his melancholy. He shows us how Rousseau walked  in order to think, while Nietzsche wandered the mountainside to write.\r\n\r\n  In contrast, Kant marched through his hometown every day, exactly at the  same hour, to escape the compulsion of thought. Brilliant and erudite, A Philosophy of Walking is an entertaining and insightful manifesto for putting one foot in front of the other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
