  To the River - A Journey Beneath...

  Olivia Laing

  • 0

  An author’s walk “from source to sea along the Ouse in Sussex is a meandering, meditative delight” drawing on history, literature, and the river itself (The Guardian, UK). In To The River, author Olivia Laing embarks on a weeklong, midsummer odyssey along the banks of the River Ouse in Sussex, England, from its source near Haywards Heath to the sea, where it empties into the Channel at Newhaven. More than sixty years after Virginia Woolf drowned herself in the River Ouse, Laing still finds inspiration and guidance in the author’s abiding presence. Through cow pastures, woods, and neighborhood streets, Laing’s meandering walk occasions a profound and haunting reflection on histories both personal and cultural, and on landscapes both physical and emotional. Along the way, she explores the roles that rivers play in human lives, tracing their intricate flow through literature, mythology and folklore. Lyrical and stirring, To the River is a passionate investigation into how history resides in a landscape - and how ghosts never quite leave the places they love.“Magical…By turns lyrical, melancholic and exultant, To the River just makes you want to follow Olivia Laing all the way to the sea.”—Daily Telegraph, UK

  El Valle de Benasque - la Vall de Benás - reúne las más altas montañas del Pirineo, los macizos de la Maladeta, Llardana o Perdiguero que han subyugado a los viajeros a lo largo de los tiempos. Impresionantes vertientes que reflejan los numerosos lagos que descansan bajo cada circo glaciar, creando paisajes de una belleza que corta el aliento. A sus pies, prados de montaña, bosques, ríos, aguas que bajan en cascadas que multiplican las vistas en rincones sorprendentes.
  En este libro proponemos una serie de excursiones que recorren la cascada de Aiguallut bajo el Aneto, la Maladeta en las aguas de Gorgutes, los saltos de agua entre los árboles del Botánico, el idílico valle de Estós, la sorprendente montaña caliza de Cotiella, el potente circo que rodea el ibón de Llosás, las cascadas de Sarllé, Gorgues Galantes, Alba, Espigantosa, las maravillas de Batisielles y Escarpinosa....
  Y los pueblos, pequeños todos, donde admirar la parte habitada de los valles, degustar la gastronomía pirenaica y apreciar los detalles de una arquitectura que habla de clima, de recursos limitados sabiamente aprovechados, de iglesias modestas pero que traen ecos del medievo y de una historia apasionante.
