BRADFORD, PA –
Isabelle Champlin, a retired professor of archaeology at the University of
Pittsburgh at Bradford, next week will review “Wanderlust: A History of
Walking” by Rebecca Solnit.
The program will take
place 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Mukaiyama University Room in the
Frame-Westerberg Commons. The program is sponsored by the Friends of Hanley
Library and is free and open to the public.
Solnit’s book has
been called “a delightful and mind-expanding look at one of the activities that
makes us human.” Solnit creates a fascinating portrait of the range of
possibilities presented by walking, and explores how people walk for pleasure
as well as for political, spiritual, aesthetic and social meaning.
Champlin’s
presentation will also include an account of her recent pilgrimage in Spain
along the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, also known as the Way of St. James.
