Magic Mountains Essays: Solitary Walkers in the Alps

September 23, 2018

The Portuguese newspaper Público is publishing new series of travel essays about art, architecture and culture I made with Tiago Silva Nunes.

They are four essays about the Alps as a center of European identity and the divisions between the countries that share the territory of that mountain range.

The first essay is about the Arcadian character of the Pre-Alps and Provence, and we are following the walks of Simone de Beauvoir, Eileen Gray, Le Corbusier, and ultimately Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

You can read the first essay, in portuguese, here.
