ISBN: 9781035009817
Conditie: Beetje gebruikt
The extraordinary story of a true hermit, an alternative way of life and endless isolation in the Scottish Highlands. Written with Will Millard, Ken Smith’s The Way of the Hermit is an unforgettable journey of discovery, as one man pits his wits against the wilderness for four decades.
'A Thoreauvian account of solitary life in the Scottish Highlands . . . delightful' - Kirkus Reviews
'Ken Smith’s advice for staying alive in inclement conditions could equally be applied to achieving hard-won dreams' – Geographical
'For anyone who feels they are merely going through the motions, this book will make an inspiring read' – BBC Countryfile Magazine
*****
Could you leave behind the bustle of modern society and spend your days immersed in nature? In The Way of the Hermit, seventy-four-year-old Ken Smith recounts a life he has chosen to spend alone with the wilderness.
Ken Smith has spent the past four decades in the Scottish Highlands. He lives alone, with no electricity or running water. His home is a log cabin nestled near Loch Treig, known as 'the lonely loch', where he lives off the land: he fishes for his supper, chops his own wood, and even brews his own tipple. He is, in the truest sense of the word, a hermit.
For the first time, Ken shares the story of his life. From his working-class origins in Derbyshire, to the formative years he spent travelling in the Yukon and finally how he came to be the Hermit of Loch Treig. Looking back through decades of diary entries, Ken reflects upon the reasons he turned his back on society, the vulnerability of old age and the awe and wonder of a life lived in nature. The Way of the Hermit is a humorous, transcendent and life-affirming memoir.
