For anyone who enjoys the outdoor life, or wants to escape from
their normal confines of home and office, this book is a perfect
inspiration. In the vein of Lars Mytting's Norwegian Wood or Erling
Kagge's Silence, Under the Open Skies: A Practical Guide to Living
Close to Nature combines escapism and adventure with a love of
nature and the desire for a simpler life. Twenty years ago, Markus
Torgeby traded his hectic urban lifestyle for a small hut in the
forests of northern Sweden. He ended up living there for four
years, in perfect solitude and in harmony with nature. Today, he
and his wife Frida and their three children live in a house he
built with his own hands, near the site where he once survived on
nothing but oatmeal, river water and the forest's own pantry.
Framed with stunning photographs taken by Frida, Under the Open
Skies is the story of Markus's journey from broken youth, to living
alone in the forest, to a self-healed family man. Torgeby is proof
of the restorative powers of the outdoors and his descriptions of
living close to nature combine everyday philosophy and
inspirational insights with helpful advice as he shares how to make
fire, the best techniques for chopping logs and how best to forage
for food. Part practical guide to how to live in the wild, part a
meditation on the human need for a connection with the natural
world, Under the Open Skies is the beguiling and timely portrait of
how the desire for a simpler existence helped one man find
contentment and connection with the world around him, and how we
can all learn from his experience.
