{"product_id":"9781804272206","title":"Helen of Nowhere","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy  walking, you escape from the very idea of identity, the temptation to  be someone, to have a name and a history ... The freedom in walking lies  in not being anyone; for the walking body has no history, it is just an  eddy in the stream of immemorial life.   In A Philosophy of Walking,  a bestseller in France, leading thinker Frédéric Gros charts the many  different ways we get from A to B-the pilgrimage, the promenade, the  protest march, the nature ramble-and reveals what they say about us. Gros  draws attention to other thinkers who also saw walking as something  central to their practice. On his travels he ponders Thoreau's eager  seclusion in Walden Woods; the reason Rimbaud walked in a fury, while  Nerval rambled to cure his melancholy. He shows us how Rousseau walked  in order to think, while Nietzsche wandered the mountainside to write.  In contrast, Kant marched through his hometown every day, exactly at the  same hour, to escape the compulsion of thought. Brilliant and erudite, A Philosophy of Walking is an entertaining and insightful manifesto for putting one foot in front of the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product__accordion accordion quick-add-hidden\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cdetails id=\"Details-collapsible_tab_dDVEeR-template--25151688147283__main\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003csummary role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_dDVEeR-template--25151688147283__main\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003cdiv class=\"summary__title\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003ch2 class=\"h4 accordion__title inline-richtext\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tProduct Information\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csvg class=\"icon icon-caret\" viewbox=\"0 0 10 6\"\u003e\u003cpath fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M9.354.646a.5.5 0 0 0-.708 0L5 4.293 1.354.646a.5.5 0 0 0-.708.708l4 4a.5.5 0 0 0 .708 0l4-4a.5.5 0 0 0 0-.708\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/summary\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content rte\" id=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_dDVEeR-template--25151688147283__main\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederic Gros\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDate of Publication:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePagination:\u003c\/b\u003e 272 pages\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e N\/A\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eImprint:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso Books\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublished By:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso Books\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBook Classification:\u003c\/b\u003e Popular philosophy\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 127 x 198 x 25\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eISBN13\/EAN\/SKU:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804290446\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\u003c\/details\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Frederic Gros","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56155592884610,"sku":"9781804272206","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/2180\/9347\/files\/9781804272206.jpg?v=1771846709","url":"https:\/\/mountfloridabooks.pro\/products\/9781804272206","provider":"Mount Florida Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
