As a stunningly beautiful work of art, "Wanderlust: The history of walking", by Rebecca Solnit, realistically and ravishingly exposes and performs a harmonious melody and astonishing combination of the language in the text and the act of walking. In "Wanderlust" Rebecca Solnit weaves together all the aspects of human experiences to chronicle the act of walking successfully. Moreover, not only does Solnit's language artistically and literately delineate a beautiful picture about walking, but, unfadingly, that it inextricably entwines with the act of walking also engraves a perfect harmonization of human bipedal motion.
