A laugh-out-loud account of an outrageously rugged hike--by the beloved comic author of Lost Continent and Notes from a Small Island.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The classic chronicle of a terribly misguided and terribly funny ( The Washington Post ) hike of the Appalachian Trail, from the author of A Short History of Nearly Everything and The Body The best way of escaping into nature.
-- The New York Times Back in America after twenty years in Britain, Bill Bryson decided to reacquaint himself with his native country by walking the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail, which stretches from Georgia to Maine.
The AT offers an astonishing landscape of silent forests and sparkling lakes--and to a writer with the comic genius of Bill Bryson, it also provides endless opportunities to witness the majestic silliness of his fellow human beings.
For a start there's the gloriously out-of-shape Stephen Katz, a buddy from Iowa along for the walk.
But A Walk in the Woods is more than just a laugh-out-loud hike.
Bryson's acute eye is a wise witness to this beautiful but fragile trail, and as he tells its fascinating history, he makes a moving plea for the conservation of America's last great wilderness.
An adventure, a comedy, and a celebration, A Walk in the Woods is a modern classic of travel literature.
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE.
