It is the turn of this century. Two couples - businessman Bobby Rose and his artist wife, Carole Ridingham; his partner, Coleman Snow, and Snow's wife, Ruth Farr - have gone on a walking tour in Wales, during which a fatal accident occurs. The question of what happened preoccupies not only an ensuing negligence trial but also the narrator, Bobby and Carole's daughter. Susan lives alone in her parents' house near the coast of Maine, addressing us from a future in which property no longer shapes destiny, a position providing unusual perspective on the way we live now.

> Walking is not as well known as Thoreau's other works Walden, The Maine Woods, and Civil Disobedience. But it is a good place to start exploring his writing because it was his last book, in 1862, published by the Atlantic Monthly shortly after his death. It is less well known because it is general, as opposed to singular, in focus. It is his summing up of his thoughts on life: One should saunter through life and take notice; one need not go far.

The Mediterranean is one of the great wellsprings of human civilization.

Südtirol - das ist ein Paradies für Berg- und Wintersportler, Erholungsuchende und Feinschmecker, im Sommer wie im Winter. Denn hier, zwischen den Ortler Alpen und den steil aufragenden Felstürmen der "Drei Zinnen" in den Sextner Dolomiten, wechseln sich alpines und mediterranes Ambiente auf engstem Raum ab. Es regnet weniger als in den umliegenden Alpenregionen und die Sonne scheint länger. Im milden Klima der nördlichsten Provinz Italiens gedeihen hervorragende Weine.

Portugal ist das westlichste Land auf dem europäischen Kontinent. Auf einer Seite liegt Spanien, auf der anderen nichts als der Atlantische Ozean, so weit das Auge reicht. Doch die einst stolze Handels- und Seemacht hat mehr zu bieten als sonnige Sandstrände, salzigen Stockfisch und schwermütigen Gesang.

We had no intention of going away that summer. Carrie had come to stay with me for a couple of weeks before we started at separate universities in the autumn.

"Walking Tours" written by Robert Louis Stevenson: It must not be imagined that a walking tour, as some would have us fancy, is merely a better or worse way of seeing the country.
