From the Norwegian explorer, a stunning meditation on the power of silence and how to shut out the world.
Erling Kagge is an explorer who was the first in history to reach the 'three poles' - North, South and the summit of Everest. During these expeditions, he experienced extreme periods of silence - the longest being fifty days. He has since returned to Norway and searches for moments of silence amongst noisy family life and work as a writer and publisher. Silence will be published in 33 languages and is already a bestseller in Norway and Italy.
As an explorer Erling Kagge is world class; as a writer he is
equally gifted. This breathtaking, inspiring little book teaches us
how to find precious moments of silence - whether we are crossing
the Antarctic, climbing Everest, or on the train at rush hour
*Sir Ranulph Fiennes*
Silence braces a space within which we can hear ourselves think.
Quietly, wisely, it makes a case for dumbing the din of modern
life, and learning to listen again. Drawing on the experiences of
Kagge's extraordinary life in wild places, this is a book of great
concentration
