“Aah, spring (well, sort of!). It’s that time of year when some of us feel the pull of wanderlust, while others are content to simply spend more time going on long walks in the sunshine. Whatever your inclination, it’s a time of motion. In this classic and stunningly thoughtful work by a true gentleman of the road, Chatwin examines Aborigine culture and his own propensity for travel. When you finish the book and put it down you will have made a journey of your own, the ending of which is a deeper understanding of what it means to be human and on the move.”—Owen, Ravenna Third Place, Seattle
