Summary

«Se me la cavo， traverso la Francia a piedi»。 Tesson è ricoverato in un letto d’ospedale， il corpo in frantumi a causa di una caduta di otto metri che poteva costargli la vita。 In quel letto rimarrà per mesi， ed è lì che è nata la promessa da cui è scaturito questo libro。
Un anno dopo， al posto di una canonica riabilitazione in un centro specializzato， Tesson si mette in movimento nonostante i chiodi nella schiena e una paralisi facciale non ancora recuperata。 La bocca gli pende da una parte e un occhio gli sporge dall’orbita， i ragazzini lo guardano con stupore mentre affronta il cammino。 Si è messo in testa di seguire un precetto di Pessoa: «Della pianta dico “è una pianta”， Di me stesso dico “sono io”。 E non dico nient’altro。 Che altro c’è da dire？»。
Nel corso di questo viaggio solitario e sorprendente， compiuto tra l’agosto e il novembre del 2015 partendo dalla Provenza per arrivare in Normandia， Tesson racconta un paesaggio impervio e sconosciuto che si rivela percorrendo vie secondarie ignote ai più， sentieri neri che sembrano ingressi nascosti e segreti a un altro mondo， dove dileguarsi e scomparire。 Camminando Tesson osserva la natura sottratta all’invadenza dell’urbanizzazione e all’arrivo della tecnologia， scopre il silenzio degli insetti lì dove l’agricoltura intensiva ha ridisegnato il paesaggio， ascolta gli animali nella notte， e in fondo rifugge gli uomini。 Dalle sue pagine e dalla sua ispirazione la Francia di campagna， la Francia profonda – un territorio ormai a tratti abbandonato – emerge come un luogo carico di vitalità， persino tumultuoso。 E in giro sbucano i segni e i messaggi di chi ha fatto scelte radicali， resistendo al tempo che fugge: «Accetto solo pane secco e libri»; «Qui non c’è il wi-fi ma abbiamo del vino»。
A fargli compagnia， è un suo marchio di fabbrica， sono i libri。 Filosofi， poeti， studiosi， da Agamben a Jean Giono， che gli danno l’occasione di ripensare alla vita， alla propria morte， di conquistare di nuovo se stesso attraverso un farmaco faticoso ma efficace: camminare， leggere， ragionare。 Aprire gli occhi。

Je suis sortie de la zone de confort en lisant ce livre。 Il y a de nombreux passages où j’étais vraiment perdue dans ma lecture （est-ce voulu？）。 Ce livre n’était pas adapté à mon niveau de lecture il faut l’avouer。

What do you do after a drunken parcours accident lands you in the hospital with a bashed-up face and multiple broken bones？ You heal for a year and then walk all the way across France， of course。 Tesson is an action-figure philosophe。

I received an electronic ARC via NetGalley。There are some genuinely beautiful passages in this short book， though in some regards it feels like it tries to cover too much ground for its length。 Part travelogue， part account of the author's recovery， part meditation on modernity--it's in some ways an odd little book， and one that is probably better appreciated by someone with more knowledge of Tesson's prior literary output。 I received an electronic ARC via NetGalley。There are some genuinely beautiful passages in this short book， though in some regards it feels like it tries to cover too much ground for its length。 Part travelogue， part account of the author's recovery， part meditation on modernity--it's in some ways an odd little book， and one that is probably better appreciated by someone with more knowledge of Tesson's prior literary output。 。。。more

I enjoy reading books of this nature。 An account by someone who has walked across a country。 Just so amazing and introspective。 I enjoyed reading about their experiences and descriptives of places Tesson visited。 I dream of doing the same， Great vicarious book for a slow day of reading。I received a Kindle arc from Netgalley in exchange for a fair review。

De auteur wijst de moderne wereld af maar dat doet hij nogal paradoxaal in een boek dat zo snel leest dat er geen ruimte is voor diepgang。 Hij schrijft dat hij somber is， maar over de donkere gedachten lees ik niets。 En verder wandelt hij wel， over wandelen gaat het eigenlijk niet。 Heel soms volgt een summiere beschrijving van een landschap， van een buitenwijk， van een verachtelijke buitenwijk， maar uiteindelijk zitten we in de hersenpan van een auteur die verlangt naar een Frankrijk vol keuterb De auteur wijst de moderne wereld af maar dat doet hij nogal paradoxaal in een boek dat zo snel leest dat er geen ruimte is voor diepgang。 Hij schrijft dat hij somber is， maar over de donkere gedachten lees ik niets。 En verder wandelt hij wel， over wandelen gaat het eigenlijk niet。 Heel soms volgt een summiere beschrijving van een landschap， van een buitenwijk， van een verachtelijke buitenwijk， maar uiteindelijk zitten we in de hersenpan van een auteur die verlangt naar een Frankrijk vol keuterboeren en natuur。 Prima， maar nogal eenzijdig。 Er wandelen allerlei mensen mee die amper geïntroduceerd worden。 Het gaat de auteur eigenlijk vooral over zijn eigen gemoed， over ontsnappen aan de moderniteit。 Nastrevenswaardig， zeker， maar ook tamelijk vooringenomen。 Ach ja。 。。。more

This was not my favorite book of this genre， but it was an enjoyable read。 I really love books about modern day explorers traveling and living off the land and the locals， but I felt that this one fell a little flat for me。 I wish more of us lived closer to the land and more in tune with it and I love when books provide that sense of longing for that through their writing， but this one felt a little preachy at times。 I did enjoy the landscape and area with which he traveled and wrote about。 It i This was not my favorite book of this genre， but it was an enjoyable read。 I really love books about modern day explorers traveling and living off the land and the locals， but I felt that this one fell a little flat for me。 I wish more of us lived closer to the land and more in tune with it and I love when books provide that sense of longing for that through their writing， but this one felt a little preachy at times。 I did enjoy the landscape and area with which he traveled and wrote about。 It is something that I have not had much chance to read about and so was new and interesting to hear the stories of。 I would recommend this story to explorer/memoir fans， as even if it is not my favorite it was still a short and enjoyable read。 。。。more

Not my favorite of his （I know I said that about his last one to be translated into English too） but it did perk up towards the end。 And I think I eventually understood why he wrote what he did and the way he did， considering his mindset and the “bad chapter” of life he was in when he undertook this journey。 It was probably more cathartic for him than other readers， but I did get a couple of especially delightful Tesson lines out of it。 Most towards the end; it’s worth sticking with。 But fair wa Not my favorite of his （I know I said that about his last one to be translated into English too） but it did perk up towards the end。 And I think I eventually understood why he wrote what he did and the way he did， considering his mindset and the “bad chapter” of life he was in when he undertook this journey。 It was probably more cathartic for him than other readers， but I did get a couple of especially delightful Tesson lines out of it。 Most towards the end; it’s worth sticking with。 But fair warning going in， although it has some intriguing descriptions of countryside and forest and a few Characters he encounters to give it a travelogue feel， it’s much more of an internal journey than an external one， and I think any description of it tends to favor the latter so it can feel disappointing。In his last translated book I was annoyed at some esoteric and antiquated vocabulary that I thought the translator had chosen where simpler or at least more common words would do， but it was the same thing here with a different translator so I see that’s a Tesson problem。 I don’t remember that from Consolations of the Forest or Berezina， the two of his I’ve loved， but it really does take you out of the reading。 Still， I’m so happy when anything of his gets translated， and if you really love him you’ll find something to appreciate here too。 I hope they do L’Axe du loup next！ （They won’t， it’s a more than a decade old and longer so I doubt it’s high on any publisher’s translation list but I want to read that one so bad！！） 。。。more

Misschien waren de verwachtingen te hoog， maar wat ik vooral mis in dit boek is de verwondering， de band met en de liefde voor de natuur。 Die vond ik wel terug in de Sneeuwpanter en in de 6 maanden in de Siberische wouden。 Hij redeneert heel veel， soms heel sarcastisch en negatief。 Mij geeft het soms het gevoel dat hij alle gevoel weg rationaliseert。 Al bij al toch een boek dat het lezen waard is en mij laat dromen over lange voettocht en slapen in de "onbegaande" natuur。 Misschien waren de verwachtingen te hoog， maar wat ik vooral mis in dit boek is de verwondering， de band met en de liefde voor de natuur。 Die vond ik wel terug in de Sneeuwpanter en in de 6 maanden in de Siberische wouden。 Hij redeneert heel veel， soms heel sarcastisch en negatief。 Mij geeft het soms het gevoel dat hij alle gevoel weg rationaliseert。 Al bij al toch een boek dat het lezen waard is en mij laat dromen over lange voettocht en slapen in de "onbegaande" natuur。 。。。more

As an AI language model， I can provide an overview of the book 'Sur les chemins noirs' by Sylvain Tesson。 'Sur les chemins noirs' （On the Black Paths） is a memoir by French writer， Sylvain Tesson。 The book chronicles Tesson's 6-month-long journey on foot， from his home in the Haute-Savoie region of France to the Massif Central， after he suffered a near-fatal fall from a roof in 2014。 In this meditative and lyrical account， Tesson reflects on his life， the beauty of the French countryside， and the resilience of humans in the face of adversity。 The book also explores his love for trekking and his fascination with natural history。 Along the way， Tesson meets a variety of eccentric characters， including shepherds， monks， and other travelers who share their stories and impart valuable lessons。 Tesson also encounters his own physical and emotional limitations， adding depth and complexity to his narrative。 'Sur les chemins noirs' has been praised for its poetic style， vivid imagery， and philosophical musings。 It is a powerful testament to the transformative power of nature， and the resilience of the human spirit。
