9781847082022: Running with the Pack: Thoughts From the Road on Meaning and Mortality

Sinossi

'Most of the serious thinking I have done over the past twenty years has been done while running.' Mark Rowlands has run for most of his life. He has also been a professional philosopher. And for him the two - running and philosophising - are inextricably connected. In Running with the Pack he tells us about the most significant runs of his life - from the entire day he spent running as a boy in Wales, to the runs along French beaches and up Irish mountains with his beloved wolf Brenin, and through Florida swamps more recently with his dog Nina. Intertwined with this honest, passionate and witty memoir are the fascinating meditations that those runs triggered. He ends by describing running a mid-life marathon with absolutely no training. Woven throughout the book are profound meditations on mortality, midlife and the meaning of life. This is a highly original and moving book that will make the philosophically inclined want to run, and those who love running become intoxicated by philosophical ideas.

Recensione

"Rowlands is a lovely writer, funny and moving. His philosophical thinking is easy to understand ... If you're of an optimistic bent, hopeful that life will offer up moments of wonder and delight, then Rowlands is your kind my kind of philosopher." --Miranda Sawyer, Observer

"An outstanding work of sports writing that shows clearly why running is about many things, but mostly about freedom and fun and why so many of us are hooked on it. Running With the Pack is life-affirming and gets straight to the heart of why running is has such an important place in our lives as it perfectly captures the essence of what happens when we lace up a pair of trainers and close the door behind us. Not only does tell a story that will be familiar to anyone who runs - be it a jog around the park or much further - it is an ideal and necessary introduction for anyone taking on their first marathon and wants to know just what they are getting themselves into." --Robin Harvie

"Rowlands' provoking thoughts will certainly spur more exploration."-Financial Times

"A powerful read, which weaves in ponderings on everything from ageing to the meaning of life. I defy anyone to read this and not be inspired to lace up their trainers."-Top Santé

"A real treat. It s a dense and serious philosophical examination of why we run and the value of it."-Runner's World

"Rowlands is really strong on how running makes us think"-Metro

"Rowland s argues that running returns us to something we have lost as humans in our pursuit of goals, material or otherwise." --Independent
