À propos de cet audio
To live in a pristine land unchanged by man... to roam a wilderness through which few other humans have passed... to choose an idyllic site, cut trees and build a log cabin... to be a self-sufficient craftsman, making what is needed from materials available... to be not at odds with the world but content with one's own thoughts and company.
Thousands have had such dreams, but Richard Proenneke lived them. He found a place, built a cabin, and stayed to become part of the country. One Man's Wilderness is a simple account of the day-to-day explorations and activities he carried out alone, and the constant chain of nature's events that kept him company. From Proenneke's journals, and with first-hand knowledge of his subject and the setting, Sam Keith has woven a tribute to a man who carved his masterpiece out of the beyond.

In August of 1914, the British ship Endurance set sail for the South Atlantic. In October 1915, still half a continent away from its intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in the ice. For five months, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world. Lansing describes how the men survived a 1,000-mile voyage in an open boat across the stormiest ocean on the globe and an overland trek through forbidding glaciers and mountains.

Histoire5 out of 5 stars 114
In 1528, a mission set out from Spain to colonize Florida. But the expedition went horribly wrong: Delayed by a hurricane, knocked off course by a colossal error of navigation, and ultimately doomed by a disastrous decision to separate the men from their ships, the mission quickly became a desperate journey of survival. Of the 300 men who had embarked on the journey, only four survived - three Spaniards and an African slave.

In a scrap heap within an abandoned factory, the greatest invention in history lies dormant and unused. By what fatal error of judgment has its value gone unrecognized, its brilliant inventor punished rather than rewarded for his efforts? In defense of those greatest of human qualities that have made civilization possible, one man sets out to show what would happen to the world if all the heroes of innovation and industry went on strike.

Story for the soul
I first saw a video about this book on YouTube and it got me interested in hearing more of the story. I don't meditate but this is as close as I've come. Putting this book on and walking in the park or under trees I felt I was there with Dick as he built his cabin and life at twin lakes. I predict this is an audio book I will listen to multiple times when I am in need of peace.

A simple masterpiece
it's amazing how the journal entries of one man, no matter how simple... can keep you enthralled and interested for hours.
This book kept me company on so many car rides to and from work.
His way of thinking, his way of writing and his work ethic are all lost arts.
Bravo...

Speechless.
If you don't have the wherewithal or the means to move to Alaska when you're finished this audiobook, don't start into it. Listening to the perfect narration of Dick's story and then not being able to go will break your heart.

An Adventure Every Man Should Experience
Following Dick Proennoke on his first of many years in the Alaskan wild... and what a journey it is. As an avid outdoorsman and hunter this book hits the mark and makes one yearn to buy the same one way ticket.
I've read and listened to it countless times, every time seeming a new adventure, a new take with a different cast of wildlife and natural scene. No matter if you begin on chapter one or seven there will always be something new.
I cannot recommend this book more to anyone with even the slightest draw to nature. This book will have you dreaming of life in God's country.

Inspired, motivated and willing
This book was my inspiration to build my own log cabin. Whenever I felt down or tired I’d think of Dick and what he accomplished with simple hand tools. Pick myself up and go again with the ease of power tools and my handy chainsaw
