    Isabella Lucy Bird was a 19th century English traveller, writer, and natural historian. She was a sickly child, however, while she was travelling she was almost always healthy. Her first trip, in 1854, took her to America, visiting relatives. Her first book, The Englishwoman in America was published anonymously two years later.Unbeaten Tracks in Japan is compiled of the letters she sent to her sister during her 7 months sojourn in Japan in 1878. Her travels there took her from Edo (now called Tokyo) through the interior - where she was often the first foreigner the locals had met - to Niigata, and from there to Aomori. There she crossed over to Yezo (Hokkaido), and her account on the life of the Ainu, an indigenous people of Japan, provides an interesting glimpse of days long past. (Summary by Availle)

    Fedeli all'idea che "una strada non domanda altro che essere percorsa" e che lo strumento privilegiato di conoscenza sia l'esperienza diretta dell'andare, Enrico Brizzi e Marcello Fini partono, nell'estate 2006, per percorrere la Via Francigena tra Canterbury e Roma, 1600 chilometri e 33 città sulle orme di Sigerico, l'arcivescovo di Canterbury che per primo tracciò l'itinerario nel 990 d.C. Affrontano, mossi dalla sola forza dei loro piedi, il più importante asse viario dell'Europa medioevale. Camminano sulle orme di viandanti e pellegrini, riflettono on the road sul significato della vita e su quale eredità ci abbia lasciato quell'Europa di mille anni fa, per la prima volta unita nel nome della religione e delle radici culturali. Si chiedono che senso abbia camminare nel XXI secolo sulle tracce di un oscuro vescovo britannico, di masnade armate, di mercanti e falsi bordones mescolati agli autentici uomini di fede diretti verso il sepolcro di Pietro. Sono pronti a raccogliere le parole e le immagini che la strada saprà offrirgli. Al racconto di viaggio è abbinato un ricco inserto fotografico, mappe e un'approfondita guida con tutte le indicazioni per ripetere l'impresa tappa per tappa.
