Riassunto

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Robert Redford and Nick Nolte.

The Appalachian Trail trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America–majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you’re going to take a hike, it’s probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaining guide you’ll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way–and a couple of bears. Already a classic,A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).

"A terribly misguided, and terribly funny tale of adventure. . . . The yarn is choke-on-your-coffee funny." —The Washington Post

"Bryson is a very funny writer who could wring humor from a clammy sleeping bag." —The Philadelphia Inquirer

"Bill Bryson could write an essay about dryer lint or fever reducers and still make us laugh out loud." —Chicago Sun-Times
