Meno che non lo facciate da soli, il modo migliore per rifugiarsi nella natura è leggere un libro come A Walk in the Woods. New York Times In compagnia del suo amico Stephen Katz (visto l'ultima volta nel bestseller Neither Here nor There), Bill Bryson è partito per un'escursione sull'Appalachian Trail, il sentiero pedonale continuo più lungo del mondo. Davanti a loro si estendevano quasi 2.200 miglia di remota natura selvaggia di montagna piena di orsi, alci, linci rosse, serpenti a sonagli, piante velenose, zecche portatrici di malattie, qualche assassino che rideva e, forse la cosa più allarmante di tutte, persone il cui passatempo preferito è discutere i meriti relativi dello zaino con telaio esterno. Affrontando un clima selvaggio, insetti spietati, mappe inaffidabili e un compagno volubile il cui desiderio più profondo era quello di andare in un motel a guardare X-Files, Bryson ha lottato coraggiosamente nella natura selvaggia per realizzare l'ambizione di una vita: non morire all'aperto. A Walk in the Woods è ora un importante film con Robert Redford, Emma Thompson e Nick Offerman.

Bill Bryson was born in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1951. His bestselling books include The Road to Little Dribbling, Notes from a Small Island, A Walk in the Woods, One Summer and The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid.

His acclaimed work of popular science, A Short History of Nearly Everything, won the Aventis Prize and the Descartes Prize, and was the biggest selling non-fiction book of its decade in the UK. His new book The Body: A Guide for Occupants was shortlisted for the Royal Society Science Book Prize and is an international bestseller.

In the company of his friend Stephen Katz (last seen in the bestselling Neither Here nor There), Bill Bryson set off to hike the Appalachian Trail, the longest continuous footpath in the world. Ahead lay almost 2,200 miles of remote mountain wilderness filled with bears, moose, bobcats, rattlesnakes, poisonous plants, disease-bearing tics, the occasional chuckling murderer and - perhaps most alarming of all - people whose favourite pastime is discussing the relative merits of the external-frame backpack.
Facing savage weather, merciless insects, unreliable maps and a fickle companion whose profoundest wish was to go to a motel and watch The X-Files, Bryson gamely struggled through the wilderness to achieve a lifetime's ambition - not to die outdoors.
