En 1968, Glendon Brunk a déménagé en Alaska pour poursuivre son rêve d'enfance de vivre dans la nature de la dernière frontière américaine. Il a construit sa propre cabane en rondins, chassé et pêché, travaillé avec les Inuits indigènes et est devenu l'un des meilleurs coureurs de chiens de traîneau au monde. Mais il regardait aussi la terre qu'il aimait être détruite par les outils de la société même qu'il représentait. Dégoûté et désemparé, Brunk a quitté l'Alaska et a fait de l'auto-stop à travers l'Afrique, l'Asie et l'Amérique du Nord, où il a été témoin de la destruction continue des mains des humains. Il est retourné en Alaska, engagé à lutter pour sauver ce qui reste de la nature. Cette histoire personnelle explore les contradictions profondément américaines qui composent l'Alaska moderne et remet en question notre incapacité culturelle à aimer et à protéger la terre.

Paperback. Etat : Good. In 1968, Glendon Brunk moved to Alaska to pursue his childhood dream of living in the wilds of the last American frontier.

But he also watched the land he loved being destroyed by the tools of the very society he represented. Disgusted and distraught, Brunk left Alaska and hitchhiked across Africa, Asia, and North America, where he witnessed continuing destruction from the hands of humans. He returned to Alaska, committed to fight to save what is left of the wilderness. This personal story explores the deeply American contradictions that make up modern Alaska and questions our cultural inability to both love and protect the land. N° de réf. du vendeur 00109427584
