Summary:
Entre le vélo et Zola, son plus efficace ambassadeur à la fin du XIXe siècle, ce fut une histoire d'amour. Outre le plaisir de monter, le romancier y voyait un symbole de la modernité et avait le projet de lui consacrer un roman ; sa mort accidentelle l'en empêcha. Antoine de Baecque a rassemblé dans ce grand éloge de la "petite reine" les articles de l'époque consacrés(...)

Antoine de Baecque a rassemblé dans ce grand éloge de la "petite reine" les articles de l'époque consacrés (parfois ironiquement) à cette passion de l'écrivain, les interviews de Zola lui-même sur le sujet, mais aussi sa correspondance et les pages de « Paris » (1897) et de « Fécondité » (1899) où le vélo tient le beau rôle.

En novembre 1974, Werner Herzog apprend que son amie Lotte Eisner, critique et historienne du cinéma allemand, est très malade, on craint pour ses jours.

Summary:
En novembre 1974, Werner Herzog apprend que son amie Lotte Eisner, critique et historienne du cinéma allemand, est très malade, on craint pour ses jours. Alors, il décide de se rendre auprès d’elle, à pied, de Munich à Paris. C’est un geste de chevalerie, un acte fou dicté par l’amitié, avec la certitude non moins folle qu’au bout du chemin Lotte Eisner serait vivante, et hors de danger. Du 23 novembre au 14 décembre 1974, il tient un carnet de route devenu depuis lors Sur le chemin des glaces. À travers cette marche qui anime de bout en bout le récit, Herzog nous réapprend à voir ce sur quoi notre œil glisse, indifférent. Tout ici est mouvement : chemins, fleuve, oiseaux, arbres, pluie, neige. Reportage mais aussi témoignage d’un homme qui nous fait partager tour à tour ses moments d’exaltation, d’épuisement, de plénitude.

Summary:
From the ruins of Palmyra in the Syrian desert to the ghost town of Bodie, the painted churches of Sucevita in Romania, and a fire festival in a Japanese village, Michael Webb has ventured far afield in search of the rare and beautiful. He recalls memorable experiences of people and places over eight decades of travel around the world, and some of the buildings and landscapes that have left a lasting impression. It's getting harder to find places that have not been commercialized and overwhelmed by mass tourism, but they can still be found, even in the most popular destinations. Webb's recommendations should inspire you to get off the beaten track and make your own discoveries.

Whether it be climate change altering the meaning of nature, or digital communications altering the nature of work, the effects of global enclosure on the meaning of place are panoramic, infiltrative, inescapable. In this exploration of our surroundings, ''The Absent Hand'' contends that to reimagine landscape is a form of cultural reinvention.

But although we are inundated with advice on where to travel to, we seldom ask why we go and how we might become more fulfilled by doing so. With the help of a selection of writers, artists and thinkers, Alain de Botton provides invaluable insights into everything from holiday romance to hotel minibars, airports to sightseeing. The perfect antidote to those guides that tell us what to do when we get there, this book tries to explain why we really went in the first place - and helpfully suggest how we might be happier on our journeys.

These essays, from one of Germany's greatest and most influential thinkers Georg Simmel, are readable portraits of three Italian cities: Rome, Venice and Florence. Simmel saw the city as a work of art in itself, and taken together these pieces act as a powerful suite expounding that notion.
