Beschreibung

-If one keeps on walking, everything will be alright.- So said Danish writer S-ren Kierkegaard, and so thought philosophy buff Gary Hayden as he set off on Britain-s most challenging trek: to walk from John O-Groats to Land-s End. But it wasn-t all quaint country lanes, picture-postcard villages and cosy bed and breakfasts.-
In this humorous, inspiring and delightfully British tale, Gary finds solitude and weary limbs bring him closer to the wisdom of the world-s greatest thinkers. Recalling Rousseau-s reverie, Bertrand Russell-s misery, Plato-s love of beauty and Epicurus- joy in simplicity, Walking with Plato offers a breath of fresh, country air and clarity for anyone craving an escape from the humdrum of everyday life.
