Uden forudsætninger for at skrive om cykelløb, faktisk uden nogensinde at have overværet et cykelløb, sendes den italienske forfatter og journalist Dino Buzzati (1906-1972) af sin avis afsted for at dække Giro d’Italia 1949: krigsstøvet har knapt har lagt sig, man famler efter normalitet og mening, og publikum hungrer efter en helt anden type dramatik – hvad de får i det endelige opgør mellem giganterne Fausto Coppi og Gino Bartali.Buzzatis ikoniske reportager sætter nye standarder for sportsjournalistik: Buzzati placerer cykelløbet i en levende litterær og poetisk ramme; han bygger bro mellem rytterne og publikum; og han giver stemme til landskabet, kammeratskabet, pinslerne og lidenskaben. Dino Buzzati formår at skrive om cykelløb, så selv cykel-fornægtere må overgive sig til den funklende og betagende prosa.I Italien er Buzzatis cykelbog blevet en klassiker; et tilbagevendende referencepunkt, såvel litterært som indenfor sportsjournalistikken (der trækkes f.eks. i dag ivrige paralleller mellem henholdsvis Bartali og Coppis opgør og Pogačar og Vingegaards). Buzzatis reportager betragtes den dag i dag som et nybrud indenfor genren.

"Growing up in the mountains of Utah, Cory Richards was constantly surrounded by the outdoors. His father, a high school teacher and a ski patroller, spent years teaching Richards and his brother how to ski, climb, mountaineer, and survive in the wild. Despite a seemingly idyllic childhood, the Richards home was fraught with violence, grief, and mental illness. After being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and dropping out of high school, Richards subsumed himself in the worlds of photography and climbing, seeking out the farthest reaches of the world to escape the darkness.

"In 2009, while thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, Robert Moor began to wonder about the paths that lie beneath our feet: How do they form? Why do some improve over time while others fade? What makes us follow or strike off on our own? Over the course of the next seven years, Moor traveled the globe, exploring trails of all kinds, from the miniscule to the massive. He learned the tricks of master trail-builders, hunted down long-lost Cherokee trails, and traced the origins of our road networks and the Internet. In each chapter, Moor interweaves his adventures with findings from science, history, philosophy, and nature writing--combining the nomadic joys of Peter Matthiessen with the eclectic wisdom of Lewis Hyde's The Gift. Throughout, Moor reveals how this single topic--the oft-overlooked trail--sheds new light on a wealth of age-old questions: How does order emerge out of chaos? How did animals first crawl forth from the seas and spread across continents? How has humanity's relationship with nature and technology shaped the world around us? And, ultimately, how does each of us pick a path through life? With a breathtaking arc that spans from the dawn of animal life to the digital era, On Trails is a book that makes us see our world, our history, our species, and our ways of life anew"--Book jacket flap.
