Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Joel Rudinger takes us to Alaska when statehood was brand new, its frontier breathtaking-and dangerous. His is a physical and cultural journey where life, without exaggeration, is lived on the edge. Growing up middle class in Ohio, Rudinger wills himself towards the extraordinary. First, with going to Alaska-of all places-for graduate school. Then taking on jobs for which he had no training or visible aptitude. Later he's hitchhiking the Alcan Highway with a lover, pushing himself repeatedly to physical and spiritual limits. Rudinger tells his story in striking first-person detail.
