THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

SHORTLISTED FOR THE SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE

The original bestseller from the beloved author of UNDERLAND, LANDMARKS and THE LOST WORDS - Robert Macfarlane travels Britain's ancient paths and discovers the secrets of our beautiful, underappreciated landscape

'The Old Ways confirms Macfarlane's reputation as one of the most eloquent and observant of contemporary writers about nature' Scotland on Sunday

Following the tracks, holloways, drove-roads and sea paths that form part of a vast ancient network of routes criss-crossing the British Isles and beyond, Robert Macfarlane discovers a lost world - a landscape of the feet and the mind, of pilgrimage and ritual, of stories and ghosts; above all of the places and journeys which inspire and inhabit our imaginations.

'Sublime... It sets the imagination tingling, laying an irresistible trail for readers to follow' Sunday Times

'Read this and it will be impossible to take an unremarkable walk again' Metro

'He has a rare physical intelligence and affords total immersion in place, elements and the passage of time: wonderful' Antony Gormley

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 27. Juni 2015

Verifizierter Kauf

Der Autor schreibt nicht nur sehr kenntnisreich - es ist voller persönlicher Erlebnissen und Eindrücke an denen der Leser teilhaben darf und obendrein in einem so schönen Englisch geschrieben, dass das Lesen zum Genuss wird. Hatte schon Mountains of the Mind verschlungen - und dass, obwohl ich dachte "Na ja, schaun wir mal ... Bergsteigen interessiert mich eigentlich nicht". Aber das Buch hat wirklich neue Horizonte eröffnet!

I love this book

Rezension aus Kanada am 3. August 2017

Verifizierter Kauf

I love this book. On my third reread. This might be because I am far from home and MacFarlane talks about some favourite walks, but probably just because it is a series of poetic journeys through places rich and resonant.

The Road(s) not taken...

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 13. September 2013

Verifizierter Kauf

... as with campsites, there are so many roads still left to be taken, and so little time. Robert Macfarlane has written a rich, evocative paean to the pleasures of travel at the optimum speed for savoring the world around us; the sub-title proclaims the method - on foot (though a slow boat does also make its appearances). For me, the book "worked" on many different levels. There is the plain "goad" to get out on the trail, and there are so many that he describes. There was the sheer enjoyment of experiencing Macfarlane's remarkable erudition. To read can be to learn, and in this book there was so much that is new, exciting and unknown to me... another "goad," an intellectual one. And even for a native English speaker... or more properly, as my British "cousins" would remind me, American speaker, an Oxford Dictionary is an appropriate accompaniment so that the reader can look up the meaning of so many of the technical terms of geology, botany, nautical, et al., that Macfarlane uses with confidence. History, literature and philosophy are also woven into the author's musing while walking. He quotes from Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Confessions (Oxford World's Classics) : "I can only meditate when I am walking, when I stop I cease to think; my mind only works with my legs." And then there are those essential but unlikely connections humans make among themselves, and are the wiser for it.

Macfarlane groups his walks into four major sections, located in England, Scotland, "Abroad" and finishing with England again. He commences with a walk in the snow, near the time of the winter solstice, from his home in Cambridge. The reader is soon introduced to Edward Thomas, who wrote The Icknield Way in 1913. Macfarlane takes part of the Icknield, which extends from Norfolk to Wiltshire, on the south coast. It is an area of chalk, and the path is one of England's oldest roads. He then takes what is billed as "deadliest" path in Britain: the Broomway, which crosses a tidal estuary in East Anglia. The author says that the trail is a "halfway house" between the land and the sea, a fitting introduction to his boat trips in Scotland, mainly near the Outer Hebrides. There are "paths" in the ocean that have been used for millennium, and he encourages the reader to conceptualize looking at a "negative" of the normal map of Europe; it is the edge(s) from northern Scotland all the way to Spain that had more in common with each other than they did with the inhabitants only 30 km inland. The Atlantic "country." He "illuminated" for me the rituals and traditions involved with the hunting of gannets on a "speck" of an island to the north of the Hebrides, Sula Sgeir.

Macfarlane's three "abroad" trips are varied, and impressive. Concerning the unlikely connections in life, he knows Raja Shehadeh, author of Palestinian Walks: Forays into a Vanishing Landscape , a book I read (and reviewed) four years ago. Macfarlane visits Shehadeh, who is an excellent guide to walking those ancient hills, and the trials and tribulations that hikers in many countries do not experience. The second hike is in Spain, a portion of the pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela, coming from Madrid over the Guadarrama mountains into Segovia. And the third hike is in Western Tibet, near the mountain sacred to the Buddhists, the triangular Minya Konka.

Back in England, Macfarlane discusses the life of the painter Ravilious, as well as his walking habits. Then he returns for a deeper look at Edward Thomas: "Thomas sensed early that one of modernity's most distinctive tensions would be between mobility and displacement on the one hand, and dwelling and belonging on the other- with the former becoming ubiquitous and the latter becoming lost (if ever it had been possible) and reconfigured as nostalgia... It is hard to make anything like a truce between these two incompatible desires." I was fascinated by the author's descriptions of a friendship between Thomas and Robert Frost, with the latter visiting him on occasions. Frost sent him a draft of "The Road Not Taken" which may have been inspired by Thomas' actions. At the age of 36, with a family, Thomas enlisted, and was killed in the Battle of Arras in the spring of 1917. I couldn't help think of the line from the movie Doctor Zhivago , uttered at the commencement of World War I, by his half-brother, Yevgraf: "Happy men don't enlist."

Macfarlane peppers his work with numerous bon-mots. Consider, as a symbol of hospitality and friendship: "A self-replenishing tumbler of gin." There is also a wonderful bibliography worth exploring. Neither Frost nor Macfarland raised the issue that, if the mortar round doesn't get you, you might live long enough to double back, and take the road that you missed the first time around. For Macfarlane's wonderful account and inspiration, 6-stars.

A book to get you up and out walking

Rezension aus Frankreich vom 14. September 2014

I first bought this as an audio book but felt I needed the real thing to return to the many quotes, names and places that Robert Mcfarlane refers to throughout his journeys.

A great walking book, accessible to all, wonderful descriptive vocabulary, a delight.

A me è piaciuto

Rezension aus Italien vom 5. Juni 2014

Verifizierter Kauf

Una descrizione di itinerari di outdoor in Inghilterra, con velleità letterarie, a volte un po' pesanti, ma in generale gradevoli. Nel nostro paese l'outdoor non si pratica veramente, e di fatto non appartiene alla nostra cultura. Sarà forse per il terreno montagnoso della penisola, che consente semmai l'escursionismo e l'alpinismo ma non si presta alla scampagnata di più giorni. Colpisce come per Macfarlane sia normale camminare su sentieri e sterrate per un giorno e poi accamparsi dove capita, all'aperto, in attesa di riprendere il giorno dopo: ma in Inghilterra (come in America) l'outdoor è una religione di libertà e nessuno si sognerebbe di mettere divieti di campeggio sul suolo pubblico. Molto interessante anche l'enfasi sull'aspetto meditativo dell'outdoor, percorso interiore al tempo stesso che itinerario di cammino nel paesaggio fisico.

This is a very well-written book. Macfarlane is exquisitely lyrical in many places, and manages to catch the spirit of all the places he walks in. Highly recommended
