The Walk

Product Information

According to his account, when Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union defeated Poland, Rawicz returned home, where the NKVD arrested him on 19 November 1939. He was taken to Minsk, then sent to Kharkiv for interrogation, then to the Lubyanka prison in Moscow, where he was put on rigged trial. He was tortured to make him confess to being a spy which initially was unsuccessful. He was sentenced to 25 years of hard labour in a Siberian prison camp, ostensibly for espionage as were thousands of others. Researchers for the BBC Radio program The Long Walk in 2006 unearthed documents indicating that the charge against Rawicz might have been for killing a Soviet NKVD officer.

You think you can outwalk 99 boys? Well, despite the 100% chance of someone actually doing it, you're 99% going to be the one to die either from exhaustion or carelessness. Sin embargo, son muchas las reflexiones que caben en este corto paseo y en estas pocas páginas. Walser, huyendo de la grandilocuencia con el mismo horror con que el paseante de este relato huye del oro y la plata que adornan el rótulo de una panadería, reivindica el placer de la contemplación silenciosa de esos detalles y elementos cotidianos y habituales que, por tal condición, son fácilmente inadvertidos y que con rapidez son convertidos por el paseante en ideales objetos de fantasía o análisis. Nuestro paseante escenifica ese silencio que domina el alma feliz, donde nada perturba, donde surgen sin dificultad castillos y castellanos de reluciente armadura; un alma de donde emana la alegría de vivir, una alegría del mediodía, de la juventud, con la que poder disfrutar de caminos, calles, campos y bosques; un tiempo en el que las resoluciones de las inevitables y molestas responsabilidades pueden predisponernos rápidamente al éxtasis, al entusiasmo de la libertad y a la libertad del juego y a la posibilidad de ser otro y, precisamente por eso, “ser otra vez yo”. A good walk in the woods is as effective as psychotherapy” (198). What is Alan trying to gain from his walk? A chance to get away from his problems or a long-term therapy session or both?

Pero ya, desde el comienzo él lo advierte, no podemos reprochárselo. In the book, Moth is mistaken for Simon Armitage, the poet, by people who clearly have no idea what Armitage looks like. He looks much better than I was expecting, a bit pale but with a big smile, a soft voice and a warm presence. He does feel sluggish though, and stiff. He says of his daily routine of walking and physiotherapy: “I feel like I’m constantly training for an Olympic event I’ll never compete in.”

Uscire dal proprio scrittoio o stanza degli spiriti e imbattersi in un autorevole scienziato e in due signore dalle gonne sbalorditivamente corte. Leggere il manifesto di una trattoria riservata solo a signori distinti, fare i complimenti a una vecchia attrice e a una giovane cantante, entrare in banca dove le domande si formulano solo sottovoce e chiedere all’ufficio delle imposte una riduzione delle tasse. Walser observes everyone and everything he sees ~ the people, the storefronts, the scenery. Nothing escapes his notice. But Walser’s brilliance is not confined to description. He also muses, reflects, and philosophizes on everything that he passes. He engages in conversation, if his profuse speeches to bewildered men and women can be called conversation. And he is hilarious. One moment he is railing against the ostentation of a bakery’s sign and the next he’s merrily waving to a workman who teases him for idling during working hours. In fact, he is at his most amusing when he is outraged. Archives of the Polish Army in the West, and his death certificate confirm that Witold Gliński was born in 1926. [ citation needed]
