Markus Torgeby Knihy

Pred dvadsiatimi rokmi vynikajúci švédsky bežec Markus Torgeby vymenil hektický mestský životný štýl za pokojný prístrešok v lese. Nakoniec tam sám ako prst, v dokonalej harmónii s prírodou, strávil štyri roky. Dnes žije s manželkou Fridou a tromi dcérami neďaleko miesta, kde kedysi prežil iba na ovsených vločkách, vode z potoka a lesných plodoch. Príroda je teraz ich obývačkou. V knihe sa s nami delí o osobné zážitky, inšpiratívne píše o outdoorovom spôsobe života svojej rodiny a o tom, ako nájsť psychickú rovnováhu a pokoj. Nezabúda však ani na praktické rady. Ako sa najľahšie šplhá na stromy? Ako si urobiť posteľ vonku? Prečo je sobia koža lepšia ako syntetické podložky na spanie? Ako človek najefektívnejšie vysuší mokré ponožky?

'The most beautiful book I ever read.' – Rune Larsson, ultra-distance runner Markus Torgeby was just 20 years old when he headed off into the remote Swedish forest to live as a recluse and dedicate himself to his one true passion: running. He lived in a tent in the wilderness, braving the harsh Swedish winters – for four years. This is his story. A talented long-distance runner in his teens, Markus Torgeby excelled in training, but often failed inexplicably in competition. Pressurised by his coach and consumed by the suffering of his MS-afflicted mother, he chose to do something that most of us only dream of: escape the modern world. In his stripped-back lifestyle in the woods, surviving with the bare minimum of supplies and enduring extreme cold, he found salvation and ultimately his true direction in life. An international bestseller, this extraordinary book is a powerful exploration of running, resilience, loss, and self-discovery.
