'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. An international bestseller, this
extraordinary book is a powerful exploration of running,
resilience, loss, and self-discovery. 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.
