Summary

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. This book traces the obscure paths peasants once followed throughout the countryside as Tesson embarks on a three month journey of solitude and personal contemplation, reflecting on disengaging from the digital and immersing oneself in natural beauty
