Recenzii
This is a moment at which terribly serious issues confront humans everywhere. But, unfortunately, the very idea of seriousness is one of the issues. Most of all, we need a sense that the future can be different from the past. We need a sense of adventure. How to stay flexible, that's the key. We get paralyzed with seriousness. Schaberg has been showing us how to be playful for quite some time. Adventure is a playful book that lets you walk through it one step at a time, written by a maestro of meaningfulness.
With Adventure, Chris has finally distilled many of his other books to their common element: the uncanny experience of coming up against the limit of the adventure fantasy of the 20th century, and how that experience carries one into the 21st. It frees the reader of both the weight of adventure as classically conceived and the downer that is most talk of limits and lockdowns. Instead, it reminds readers that what we make of our daily journeys depends entirely on how we can reshape the idea of adventure - and indeed, the very desire for adventure - into one that can serve us better in the present.
