Walker: On Finding and Losing Yourself in the Modern City

by Matthew Beaumont Author

Walking tells us something about life in the city, whether that city is Dickens's London, the Paris of Benjamin's flâneurs, or the modern megacities of countless commuters. Moving around a city is a way of understand who and where we are. This book retraces steps in the history of the walker both literary and historical to explore the relationship between the city and its pedestrian life.
