The Ways of the Bushwalker: On Foot in Australia. By Melissa Harper

摘要

With this book, Melissa Harper gives life, meaning, and importance to the story of walking in Australia. Like Rebecca Solnit in Wanderlust, she explores "an unwritten, secret history, whose fragments can be found in a thousand unemphatic passages in books, as well as in songs, streets and almost everyone's adventures" (p. 3), and like Thoreau in "Walking," she demonstrates that writing on this topic can lead in many directions.
