📗 Libro en inglés ON TRYING TO KEEP STILL

Jenny Diski?s attempt to keep still and mentally idle resulted in a year in which she travelled to New Zealand, spent two months almost alone in a cottage in the country and visited the S mi people of Lapland. Diski, fails to keep still and, like the philosopher Montaigne, keeps a record of her ramblings both mental and physical hoping as he did in time to make her mind ashamed of itself. Interspersed with ill-tempered descriptions of these trips are digressions on the subject of her sore foot; her childhood desire for ?a condition?, thoughts about growing older, spiders, fundamentalism and the problems of keeping warm.
