This book is written as a series of autobiographical essays. Rebecca Solnit uses symbolic moments and interpersonal relationships in her own life to write about being lost and lonely, about reading and music, about the loss of love and the tracking of life. Many of modern people's pains stem from the uncertainty of the world itself and people's pursuit of certainty. However, Solnit used his unique experience of hiking through deserts and jungles and his profound knowledge to show us that getting lost can also be an active choice, and how important it is to learn to get lost. Only when we step out of the familiar and surrender ourselves to nature and the unknown can we discover new possibilities and meanings of life. When you get lost, you can not only see the soul-shaking beauty, but also meet lonely souls such as Woolf, Thoreau, Benjamin, Weil, and Klein.
