Brian Keenan's fascination with Alaska began as a small boy while reading Jack London's wondrous Call of the Wild. With a head full of questions about its inspiring landscape and a heart informed by his love of desolate and barren places, Brian Keenan sets out for Alaska to discover its four geographical quarters from snowmelt in May to snowfall in September, and en route, finds a land as fantastical as a fairytale but whose vastness has a very peculiar type of allure...
From dog-mushing on a frozen lake beneath the whirling colours of the aurora borealis to camping in a two dollar tent in the tundra of the arctic circle, Brian Keenan seeks out the ultimate wilderness experience and along the way, encounters hard-core survivalists who know what struggle and endurance mean from their daily battle with nature to exist.He discovers that true wilderness is as much a state of mind as it is a place.And ultimately to make Alaska home, one must surrender to the land.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

Zustand: Bueno. : En este libro, Brian Keenan nos lleva en un viaje fascinante a través de Alaska, explorando sus paisajes y la conexión del autor con los lugares desolados del mundo. Desde el deshielo en mayo hasta las nevadas en septiembre, Keenan descubre una tierra tan fantástica como un cuento de hadas, cuya inmensidad posee un encanto peculiar. A través de experiencias como conducir trineos tirados por perros en un lago helado bajo la aurora boreal y acampar en la tundra del círculo polar ártico, el autor busca la experiencia de la naturaleza salvaje definitiva, encontrándose con personas que luchan diariamente por sobrevivir en la naturaleza. Keenan descubre que la verdadera naturaleza salvaje es tanto un estado mental como un lugar, y que para hacer de Alaska un hogar, uno debe rendirse a la tierra.
