Overview

H. D. Thoreau mostró al mundo la importancia fundamental de la naturaleza en su relación con el ser humano cuando decidió irse a vivir en mitad del bosque y publicar su experiencia. Después de aquella obra cumbre, Walden, el autor volcaba en este librito sus reflexiones en torno al arte de caminar. Salir y explorar los lugares más remotos, pisar caminos y bosques no solo libera nuestra mente, sino que también nos asoma a una vida más sencilla y auténtica, más cercana al primigenio estado salvaje.

Spending time wandering in nature not only frees our mind, but also gives us a glimpse of a simpler and more authentic life.
