On the Wandering Paths

by Sylvain Tesson

A walking journey through France's vast interior becomes a meditation on both personal recovery and the role of history in the present--more than 425,000 copies sold in France

After a free-climbing accident lands him in a coma and a hospital for four months, the French writer Sylvain Tesson makes a promise to himself: if he's ever able to walk again, he will traverse the entire country of France on foot.
