In “ The Songlines ,” Bruce Chatwin traveled through the Aboriginal world in Australia, wandering in the Outback and discovering its impenetrable culture and himself. Henry David Thoreau took a nice, rainy 30-mile walk on a Cape Cod beach in 1849 and chronicled his experience in “ Walking,” an essay published in the Atlantic right after his death in 1862. Patrick Leigh Fermor strolled across a Europe in 1933 that would become almost unrecognizable 10 years later.
Writers have walked probably millions of miles over the centuries and turned those journeys into compelling books.
