The Lost Art of Walking
Author: Geoff Nicholson
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101079096
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
How we walk, where we walk, why we walk tells the world who and what we are. Whether it's once a day to the car, or for long weekend hikes, or as competition, or as art, walking is a profoundly universal aspect of what makes us humans, social creatures, and engaged with the world. Cultural commentator, Whitbread Prize winner, and author of Sex Collectors Geoff Nicholson offers his fascinating, definitive, and personal ruminations on the literature, science, philosophy, art, and history of walking. Nicholson finds people who walk only at night, or naked, or in the shape of a cross or a circle, or for thousands of miles at a time, in costume, for causes, or for no reason whatsoever. He examines the history and traditions of walking and its role as inspiration to artists, musicians, and writers like Bob Dylan, Charles Dickens, and Buster Keaton. In The Lost Art of Walking, he brings curiosity, imagination, and genuine insight to a subject that often strides, shuffles, struts, or lopes right by us.

Pages : 484
Book Description
Ben Marmot, a man with a life of promise gone wrong, is an anarchist, antiestablishment iconoclast. A well-traveled 64-year-old decorated war hero and sniper in the Vietnam War, his country has all but forgotten him. With each passing day it seems the establishment is taking away more and more of the freedom he depends on to survive. Traumatized by life and suffering from PTSD, angry and bitter, he is reduced to living in a trailer park in Paradise at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Sally, a 33-year-old ethereal being, also lives in Paradise. When Ben meets Sally, they immediately see hope in each other. During the 2018 Paradise wildfire, the deadliest in California’s history, Sally and Ben decided to make a fresh start. Like Thelma and Louise, Bonnie and Clyde, Sally and Ben embark on a road trip?to Key West. As in Jack Kerouac's, On the Road, we follow the journey of this counterculture couple and watch their traumas play out in unbelievable ways. We hear their ideas about a world gone wrong and watch as they become renegades for ‘freedom.’ Written in terse, in-your-face prose, Blunt will force you to think past boundaries to a larger, more complex world. And it will make you wonder about freedom. First though, you’ll have to decide if Ben is proof-positive crazy…and if Sally is even real? A shocking read. Trying to decipher this world and these characters, you’ll marvel at the madness not far from today’s America. With political and media attention focused on what divides us; and the degradation of moral reality into free fall debauchery.…it’s not difficult to imagine Blunt!

Who Walk in Darkness
Author: Chandler Brossard
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504012143
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Considered by many to be the first Beat novel, this underground classic follows a clique of young bohemians from dive bar to dance hall in 1940s New York Recently fired from his job and not yet ready to find a new one, aspiring author Blake Williams begins his evenings at the Sporting Club Bar in Greenwich Village, where he knows he will find Henry Porter. An ambitious and manipulative writer rumored to be “passing” for white, Henry has a cold-hearted charisma that is both irresistible and infuriating to his friends. While sipping beers delivered by the bar’s surly Italian waiter, Henry and Blake discuss their plans for the night: a trip uptown to dance to the strains of a Puerto Rican orchestra, perhaps, or a prize fight at Madison Square Garden, or maybe a party in a dim and crowded apartment on Prince Street, reefer smoke clouding the air. The possibilities are endless—until the money runs out. Originally published in 1952, Who Walk in Darkness was one of the most controversial novels of midcentury America. Its cast of hip young men and women—from the unforgettable antihero Henry Porter to Harry Lee, a talented but heavy-drinking novelist going through a period of grave self-doubt—were based on well-known figures of the era. Their existential crises are portrayed with an honesty that shocked the publishing establishment and helped give rise to one of the most significant literary movements in American history. As relevant today as it was more than half a century ago, Who Walk in Darkness is the masterwork of an author far ahead of his time and a captivating character study whose influence can be felt in novels as wide-ranging as Jack Kerouac’s On the Road and Philip Roth’s The Human Stain.

Book Description
Because there are codes, intellectuals and artists from all parts of the world have been in conflict from time immemorial till today. They ponder on how to answer questions spurred by the progressing tendencies toward the emancipation of humans from frailties, and mysteries that remain unresolved till today. Some predict a less conflicting future, the Anti-Christ, others fear the loss of the cultural diversity of humanity, and some express bias toward secularity and religion. Eventually, at the point where major ideological conflicts gave rise to todays controversies, a new fire of ideology flared up in Dotman, and he shares with us here where one would not have expected, at border lines not only between every single human today, but where the religions foundations of cultures are considered. In the midst of beliefs, labeled esoteric, beyond ones own cultural world, home, knowledge, and ingenuity, he found a powerful incident knowledge that is so anomalous and converging and so inspiring, more than any right from time he has so far lived in the world. This zero is structured to use the works of the geniuses, but care was taken in the design of the zero so that codes were identified and decoded with tools created in the zero.
