A spellbinding travel book, exploring the psychology of walking, pilgrimage, solitude and escape. 'An extraordinary, dreamlike journey through West Africa' Adharanand Finn At the age of twenty-seven and afraid of falling into a life he doesn't want, Robert Martineau quits his office job, buys a flight to Accra and begins to walk. He walks 1,000 miles through Ghana, Togo and Benin, to Ouidah, an ancient spiritual centre on the West African coast.

'Marvellous... A book about how to travel' Jay Griffiths, author of Wild '[Martineau's] story, beautifully written, of how his pilgrimage of sorts changed him forever' Evening Standard
Robert Mapplethorpe

Harriet Martineau
"Harriet Martineau" is a biography of an English social theorist often seen as the first female sociologist. Harriet Martineau wrote from a sociological, holistic, religious, and feminine angle, translated works by Auguste Comte, and, rarely for a woman writer at the time, earned enough to support herself. The book presented here gives an interesting insight into her life.
