Recenzii
"Pure
suspense,
adventure,
and
inspiration.
When
Scott
Jurek
went
into
the
woods
to
create
his
masterpiece,
no
one
knew
if
he
would
make
it
back
out
again.
He
was
America's
greatest
ultra
athlete,
a
runner
whose
brains
and
singular
intensity
led
him
to
years
of
extraordinary
victories.
But
this
time,
Jurek
was
pushing
himself
into
realms
more
dangerous
than
Death
Valley,
more
treacherous
than
Mexican
canyons,
and
only
slightly
less
crazy
than
the
time
he
chased
after
a
wild
bear.
His
story
of
plunging
into
the
wilderness
in
pursuit
of
a
dream
is
both
heartwrenching
and
spellbinding."—Christopher
McDougall,
author
of
Born
to
Run
and
Natural
Born
Heroes
"Scott Jurek's record-setting journey on the Appalachian Trail was the most punishing, most demanding, most grueling feat I've ever personally witnessed. By mile 2,000, he was a hollowed-out, broken-down carapace of a person. And unless he found something, some way not just to keep going but to speed up, he was going to miss the record. Over those final 200 miles, I watched him dig deeper than I thought humanly possible: he not only claimed the fastest known time, but - most impressively - never failed to greet a fellow blaze-hiker with a smile and a cheery, 'How far ya' going?' Now, reading his immersive and engaging book, where he asks and pushes himself to find the answers to all of the 'whys,' I almost don't want his suffering to end, just so I can enjoy another chapter."
—Aron Ralston, adventurer and author of 127 Hours: Between a Rock and a Hard Place
"When Scott first shared with me that the AT would be his next record setting challenge, I was in awe at the stamina it would require and the precision in planning and preparation that it would ultimately entail. Scott, and Jenny, are both living proof that what you dream you can also make manifest. Read this book and redefine your own personal limits."
—Christy Turlington Burns, Founder & CEO Every Mother Counts
"What sucks you in is the fact that the Jureks' daily struggles matter. Their candid sharing of each day's minutia places you on the trail alongside them."—American Trail Running Association
"Northchronicles the highs and lows of an epic journey, both inward and outward."—New York Post
"Northwill cement Jurek's position and reputation. It is a heartfelt, honest, exciting account of an inner, metaphorical journey."—The Daily Camera
"Like his first book,Eat and Run, Jurek's journey is nothing less than inspirational."
