El viaje condiciona la pasión o la necesidad de esas historias; la gastronomía, otra forma de pasión, adoba de misterio lo extraordinario a través de ajustes de cuentas, a veces cómicos, a veces trágicos, a veces elusivos. Con el azar como levadura del amor y del inexorable paso del tiempo.'

Livio ha 23 anni, ama la montagna e crede di amare Paola. Incapace di accettare la fine del rapporto con lei, entra nella sfera di passività tipica di chi cristallizza i ricordi e vive di essi. A questo si aggiunge lo strazio per la morte in montagna di due amici che lo getta in una cupa spirale di depressione dove l'unica fuga sembra essere solo lo stordimento dato da alcool e droga.
Livio vive di azioni e ripensamenti, di spinte emotive e conseguenze da gestire. È un ragazzo che sta cercando una via per essere un uomo, e la montagna, che sembra solo luogo di svago e divertimento, assume le forme di rifugio sicuro per maturare e confrontarsi con il suo Io in costruzione.
Un romanzo di formazione che racconta un passaggio di transizione, uno squarcio di vita che segnerà per sempre la vita del protagonista, che cresce e trasforma il modo in cui accoglie la vita e i suoi eventi. Scoprire di riconoscersi nel protagonista ricorda come vivere a pieno il presente sia l'unico modo per prepararsi ad affrontare qualsiasi futuro, punto di partenza per una sana e continua esplorazione interiore.
Quarant'anni fa due giovanissimi alpinisti, l'inglese Simon McCartney e il californiano Jack Roberts, si incontrarono casualmente in un bar a Chamonix e, scoperta un'affinità di aspirazioni e di capacità, si lanciarono in una serie di scalate audaci che culminarono nella scalata della parete Nord del Mount Huntington in Alaska, che fino ad oggi non è ancora stata ripetuta.
Forti del loro successo e del loro affiatamento i due scelsero una meta ancora più difficile, la parete Sud Ovest del Denali, la montagna più alta del Nord America. Ma a circa 6000 metri d'altezza Simon venne colpito da edema celebrale. Sarebbe morto sicuramente, ma Jack fece miracoli e riuscì a salvarlo.
Dopo quell'incidente e la faticosa guarigione, Simon abbandonò completamente l'arrampicata e anche il mondo della montagna. Trent'anni dopo gli capitò di incontrare del tutto casualmente un alpinista che nominò Jack, e tutt'a un tratto Simon si accorse di avere seppellito una parte importante della propria vita, un legame profondo che però non si era mai spezzato. Nella sua mente riaffiorano i dettagli delle ascensioni compiute con Jack, soprattutto le due scalate delle grandi pareti dell'Alaska, il successo sull'Huntington e la tragedia sul Denali. Ormai non poteva più fuggire per dimenticare. È così che Simon McCartney scrisse questo libro.
Fans of Cheryl Strayed's Wild, Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods, and Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love will enjoy author Toby Neal's road trip travel memoir of self-discovery as she and her husband journey through the National Parks!
I had a dream to live a 'normal' life and I attained it; but along the way, I lost myself.
My story began in Freckled: a Memoir of Growing up Wild in Hawaii, but it continued after I married the man of my dreams, completed my education with multiple degrees, had a successful career, and raised two beautiful children.
I sacrificed to get to where I was. Though I didn't regret anything, flat on my back in the doctor's office on the cusp of my fiftieth birthday, my health was crumbling.
I no longer recognized myself.
I turned my head and saw a calendar on the wall: Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah beckoned me with its mysterious sandstone hoodoos.
A road trip traveling through the National Parks was just what I needed to rediscover the girl I'd been; it could help me turn a corner into my new career as a writer, and my husband would enjoy a chance to photograph the natural wonders we saw.
Sometimes, a twelve-thousand-mile road trip is also a personal quest.
Whether you're downsizing or thrill-seeking—or anything in between—find out if the RV lifestyle is right for you, and learn how to transition from a life of traditional home-ownership to one on the road.
Do you love traveling? Meeting new people and seeing new places? Are you craving a life that feels meaningful and new? The RV lifestyle could be the answer.
Both aspirational and practical, Living the RV Life is your ultimate guide to living life on the road—for people of all ages looking to downsize, travel, or work on the go. Learn if life in a motor home is right for you, with insightful details on the experiences of full-time RV-ers, tips for how to choose an RV (how big? new or used?), whether to sell your home (and if not, what to do with it), model costs, sample routes and destinations, basic vehicle maintenance, legal and government considerations—and much more! Written in a light and an easy-to-understand style, Living the RV Life is your bible to living a mobile life.
Dana Stabenow was born in Alaska before Statehood, grew up on and around fishing boats, worked for an air taxi service, a cannery, and later, on the oilfields of the North Slope. Today, she's an Edgar-award winning mystery writer with over twenty-five Alaska-based novels to her credit. Stabenow knows Alaska.
Writing for Alaska Magazine, she revisits old haunts and explores new ones to capture the vital pioneering spirit of her home state. From cruising the Inner Passage to hiking the Chilkoot Trail, bidding on bachelors at Talkeetna's Winterfest, to a behind-the-scenes look at the Iditarod sled dog race, Alaska Traveler collects over fifty of Stabenow's columns about life on America's last frontier. It's Alaska in all seasons-not just the summer months-and in all its quirky, iconoclastic glory.
Travelers planning a trip to Alaska will find much to inspire them, as will those just interested to learn more about the state that residents call The Great Land.
