La beauté du monde. Voyager sans se presser

« Voyager, c’est partir elsewhere to meet new countries to discover its landscapes, its inhabitants, their culture, their history, their way of life, their cuisine, their language… » In a journey crisscrossing all continents, Carl Honoré — Eloge de la lenteur — invites to travel without rushing. Opting for walkable routes by foot, bike, train or boat, the author stops at 40 stations, lifting their beauties while inscribing them in History. Divided into four parts, this rich and accessible documentary album, translated by Bérengère Viennot, is adorned with the stylized illustrations of the couple Kevin and Kristen Howdeshell, whose aesthetics remind of Blexbolex’s work. But if the idea behind this journey is, in particular, to reduce the carbon footprint, the road to reach these destinations can first require a flight. You can’t escape it. Especially if you come from Canada or Quebec, regions excluded from the proposed places, and yet there is no lack of space to walk there.
