Broschiertes Buch

Running is Life

Transcending the Crisis of Modernity

Beschreibung

This book is set in many places-Cairo, the Eastern Sierras, Las Vegas, New York's Adirondack Mountains, and Barcelona, among others-but always in the moving body of the runner hurtling both through and into the world. It is a hymn to human motion and an explanation of its sweetness.
