Beskrivelse
A CLASSIC FROM THE "NEW YORK TIMES" BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF "ONE SUMMER
"
Back in America after twenty years in Britain, Bill Bryson decided to reacquaint himself with his native country by walking the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail, which stretches from Georgia to Maine. The AT offers an astonishing landscape of silent forests and sparkling lakes and to a writer with the comic genius of Bill Bryson, it also provides endless opportunities to witness the majestic silliness of his fellow human beings.
For a start there's the gloriously out-of-shape Stephen Katz, a buddy from Iowa along for the walk. Despite Katz's overwhelming desire to find cozy restaurants, he and Bryson eventually settle into their stride, and while on the trail they meet a bizarre assortment of hilarious characters. But "A Walk in the Woods" is more than just a laugh-out-loud hike. Bryson's acute eye is a wise witness to this beautiful but fragile trail, and as he tells its fascinating history, he makes a moving plea for the conservation of America's last great wilderness. An adventure, a comedy, and a celebration, "A Walk in the Woods" has becomea modern classic of travel literature."

Fantastisk bog om at tage det første skridt, på en spadseretur fra Georgia til Maine. Og finde ud af at det er okay at snyde lidt engang imellem. Jeg er vild med Bill Brysons skrivestil.

Kanon god bog - hvis man kan lidt Bill Bryson stil. Kan ikke undgå at komme til at smile over den.

Mere fakta og mindre pudsige betragtninger. Mere i familie med "En kort historie om næsten alt" end "Life And Times of The Thunderbolt Kid" og "Neither Here Nor There". Go', men ikke hans bedste.
