Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A passionate, thought provoking exploration of walking as a political and cultural activity, from the author of the memoir Recollections of My NonexistenceDrawing together many histories--of anatomical evolution and city design, of treadmills and labyrinths, of walking clubs and sexual mores--Rebecca Solnit creates a fascinating portrait of the range of possibilities presented by walking. Arguing that the history of walking includes walking for pleasure as well as for political, aesthetic, and social meaning, Solnit focuses on the walkers whose everyday and extreme acts have shaped our culture, from philosophers to poets to mountaineers. She profiles some of the most significant walkers in history and fiction--from Wordsworth to Gary Snyder, from Jane Austen's Elizabeth Bennet to Andre Breton's Nadja--finding a profound relationship between walking and thinking and walking and culture. Solnit argues for the necessity of preserving the time and space in which to walk in our ever more car-dependent and accelerated world.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A surfing, boy-crazy teenagercomes of age in the summer of 1957 in this classic novel that inspired both movies and television and created an American pop culture icon. My English comp teacher Mr. Glicksberg says if you want to be a writer you have to quote sit on a window sill and get all pensive and stuff and jot down descriptions. Unquote Glicksberg! I don't know what kind of things he writes but I found my inspiration in Malibu with a radio, my best girlfriends, and absolutely zillions of boys for miles. I absolutely had to write everything down because I heard that when you get older you forget things, and I d be the most miserable woman in the world if I forgot all about Moondoggie and what happened this summer. I absolutely owe the world my story. (And every word is true. I swear.) This is Franzie, part Holden Caulfield, part Lolita. The guys call her Gidget short for girl midget.Based on the experiences of his own daughter, Frederick Kohner s trend-setting novel became an international sensation with an irrepressible heroine whose voice still echoes every thrill, every fear, and every hope that every teenager ever had about growing up.Includes a Foreword by Kathy Kohner Zuckerman (aka the real Gidget).
