Del camminare e altre distrazioni

You don't walk just to move from one place to another: you also walk to be able to look at the world from the top of the mountains, like Mark Twain, or to philosophize, like Rousseau and Roberto Arlt. Sometimes a banal walk allows you to have encounters that change your existence, as happens to the characters of Maupassant and Capuana, and in certain situations wandering even becomes a lifestyle, as in the pages of Verga and Mary Austin. From Virginia Woolf to JM Barrie, from GK Chesterton to HG Wells, these 14 stories written by the greatest authors of world literature allow you to explore all the hidden meanings in one of the daily activities that we usually carry out without thinking about it: walking. Texts by: Roberto Arlt, Mary Austin, JM Barrie, Luigi Capuana, Kate Chopin, GK Chesterton, Guy de Maupassant, Irving Washington, JJ Rousseau, Antonio Stoppani, Mark Twain, Giovanni Verga, HG Wells, Virginia Woolf.
