En savoir plus sur le livre

Emphasizing the connection between humanity and nature, Thoreau advocates for the concept of "sauntering" as a profound and spiritual practice. He contrasts true walking, which embodies freedom and a sense of belonging to the natural world, with mere idleness. Thoreau explores the etymology of "sauntering," linking it to both pilgrimage and a sense of home in the world, suggesting that every walk is a quest to reclaim the sacredness of nature. His reflections invite readers to appreciate the deeper significance of walking as a form of communion with the earth.
