About this book
The Wandering: A History of Walking offers a comprehensive investigation into the act of wandering throughout human history. The author constructs a dual conceptual framework for walking—positioning it as both an expression of ultimate freedom and an embodiment of existential disquiet.

By examining how walking opens human perception to the unknown, this work encourages readers to reconsider the simple act of walking as a vital bridge between the mind, the body, and the world.
