The series of reviews included in this book is the result of these walks. Apparently, there is no particular reason for the choice, but now that they are together I can see some patterns and some underlying themes that attracted my attention and desire to share my views on these texts.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSome of these reviews have connections.
