In this revealing `psycho-geography`, Dennis Marks makes a journey through the eastern borderlands of Europe to learn about the elusive writer Joseph Roth & the world in which he lived. The result is a riveting & involving documentary that reunites Roth with his creative landscape. Joseph Roth, best-known as the author of the novel The Radetsky March & the non-fiction work, The Wandering Jews, was one of the most seductive, disturbing & enigmatic writers of the twentieth century. Born in 1894 in the Habsburg Empire in what is now Ukraine, & dying in Paris in 1939, he was a perpetual displaced person, a traveller, a prophet, a compulsive liar, & a man who covered his tracks.

What does it mean to be out walking in the world, whether in a landscape or a metropolis, on a pilgrimage or a protest march? In this first general history of walking, Rebecca Solnit draws together many histories to create a range of possibilities for this most basic act. Arguing that walking as history means walking for pleasure & for political, aesthetic, & social meaning, Solnit homes in on the walkers whose everyday & extreme acts have shaped our culture, from the peripatetic philosophers of ancient Greece to the poets of the Romantic Age, from the perambulations of the Surrealists to the ascents of mountaineers. With profiles of some of the most significant walkers in history & fiction
- from Wordsworth to Gary Snyder, from Rousseau to Argentina's Mother of the Plaza de Mayo, from Jane Austen's Elizabeth Bennet to Andre Breton's Nadja
- Wanderlust offers a provocative & profound examination of the interplay between the body, the imagination, & the world around the walker.

Wanderings In Arabia

”Travels in Arabia Deserta” is considered to be one of the finest books ever written on Arabia, admired for the beauty of its prose and valued as being one of the most important nineteenth-century portraits of Arabia and its peoples. Embarking on an adventure that had not been attempted by even the most intrepid explorers of the day, Charles Doughty travelled for nearly two years through the desert interior of the great Arabian Peninsula. Openly proclaiming himself a Christian and an Englishman, Doughty wandered through the desert, living with and as a bedouin, experiencing and recording a way of life that has now disappeared forever. His account - published here in paperback for the first time - is a truly indispensable classic of travel literature on the Middle East.
