Overview
La autora de Los hombres me explican cosas y Wanderlust vuelve con un libro lleno de sabiduría y lucidez: una llamada a la reflexión y a una vida alternativa.
«Para Solnit, la esperanza no es una garantía para el mañana, sino el detonador para la acción de hoy». —John Berger
¿Qué puede enseñarnos un violín de trescientos años sobre nuestros bosques? ¿Cuáles son los matices del hielo? ¿Cómo influye en las historias el modo de narrarlas? Las preguntas son el hilo conductor del nuevo libro de Rebecca Solnit: para llegar a nuevos horizontes, nos susurra entre sus páginas, hace falta idear caminos alternativos, tomar la carretera secundaria y mirar el paisaje, perderse en el desvío para así alcanzar, en algún momento, una inesperada forma de ser, pensar y actuar.
Como una hoja de ruta hacia un mundo imaginado, este volumen recoge ensayos tan variados como el pensamiento de su autora, que con su característica agilidad salta de sus observaciones sobre la naturaleza y nuestra relación con ella, al análisis de la actual lucha feminista o las implicaciones modernas de su célebre concepto de mansplaining. Y es que para Solnit el ejercicio de pensar es ante todo una reflexión sobre cómo se construye el propio pensamiento.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In the spirit of her bestselling book Hope in the Dark, Rebecca Solnit explores how our actions can shape the future and the liberatory possibilities of embracing uncertainty.
Beginning with an essay about a three-hundred-year-old violin and what it can tell us about forests, abundance, and climate, and ending with on about a prisoner dreaming of seeing the ocean, No Straight Road Takes You There deftly bridges the political and the literary, offering unique insights, nuanced understanding, and inspiration for the challenging work ahead. In her latest essay collection, the award-winning author explores climate change, feminism, democracy, hope, and power and its abuse. Throughout she asks us to heed the stories we tell or have been told, and the ways those stories can be, or should be changed. Solnit offers a reappraisal of the value of indirect consequences, an embrace of unpredictability, slowness, and imperfection in the politics of how to change the world.
“I've tried to find other ways of seeing and to prize the migratory routes ideas take,” Solnit writes in the introduction, “the way that hope is most often grounded in memory, because you can't see the future, but you can understand the patterns and possibilities if you know the past.”
