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.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Brian Keenan's fascination with Alaska began as a small boy choosing his first library book in a Belfast school. The book was Jack London's wondrousCall of the Wild. And it has permeated Keenan's life ever since. A short visit to Fairbanks several years ago was enough to seal his connection with the place and he resolved to return. Last year he did so with a head full of questions about its inspiring landscape and heart informed with his own love of the desolate and barren places of the world. In the course of a journey that takes him through four geographical quarters from snowmelt in May to snowfall in September, he discovers a land as fantastical as a fairytale but whose vastness has a very peculiar type of allure . . .

Brian Keenan CBE (born 28 September 1950 in Belfast, Northern Ireland) is an Irish writer whose work includes the book An Evil Cradling, an account of the four and a half years he spent as a hostage in Beirut, Lebanon from 11 April 1986 to 24 August 1990. Keenan was born into a working-class family in East Belfast in 1950. He left Orange field School early and began work as a heating engineer. However, he continued an interest in literature by attending night classes and in 1970 gained a place at the University of Ulster in Coleraine. Other writers there at that time included Gerald Dawe and Brendan Hamill. In the mid 1980s Keenan returned to the Magee College campus of the university for postgraduate study. Afterwards he accepted a teaching position at the American University of Beirut, where he worked for about four months. Brian Keenan's fascination with Alaska began when he was a small boy choosing his first library book in school: Jack London's wondrous The Call of the Wild. Alaska's mesmeric wilderness has permeated Keenan's life ever since. A short visit to Fairbanks several years ago was enough to seal his connection with the place, and he resolved to return. He eventually did so with a heart informed with his own love of the desolate places of the world. In a journey that takes him through four geographical quarters from snowmelt in May to snowfall in September, he discovers a land whose vastness has a very peculiar type of allure. From dog-mushing on a frozen lake to camping in a tent in the tundra of the Arctic Circle, from skinning hides with a shaman and his wife to boating in the Bering Sea, and to a remote Eskimo fishing camp, Keenan seeks out the ultimate wilderness experience and connects with a spectrum of wildlife, all of them roamers in "The Big Lonely." He encounters hard-core survivalists who know what struggle and endurance mean from their daily battle for existence. And finally, he discovers that true wilderness is as much a state of mind as it is a place and that ultimately, to make Alaska home, one must surrender to the land.
