Sinossi
Dopo la morte prematura della madre, il traumatico naufragio del suo matrimonio, una giovinezza disordinata e difficile, Cheryl a soli ventisei anni si ritrova con la vita sconvolta. Alla ricerca di sé oltre che di un senso, decide di attraversare a piedi l'America selvaggia tra montagne, foreste, animali selvatici, rocce impervie, torrenti impetuosi, caldo torrido e freddo estremo. Una storia di avventura e formazione, di fuga e rinascita, di paura e coraggio. Una scrittura intensa come la vicenda che racconta, da cui emergono con forza il fascino degli spazi incontaminati e la fragilità della condizione umana di fronte a una natura grandiosa e potente.

I was happily coming to Goodreads to give my glowing review, but was pretty annoyed at a few of the recent reviews, so I wanted to address that first. The bravery and honesty that flowed from those pages touc Leggi tutto

“The universe, I'd learned, was never, ever kidding. It would take whatever it wanted and it would never give it back.” Wild is easily one of the best memoirs I've ever read. For two main reasons. 1) It is extremely well-written. This book doesn't have that feeling which non-fiction books often gi Leggi tutto
In some reviews, Strayed has been criticized for a number of things. Unpreparedness for the Pacific Crest Trail, risky decisions and miscalculations, as well as reckless living - poor choices in coping with a broken life. Her real father was unstable, abusive and essentially absent. Her mother was q Leggi tutto
So far, a great read. It's Eat, Pray, Love without all the whining.
