Description
A long outdoor life told through short stories.
Kev Reynolds has written about many of the world’s mountain regions, and in this book, his own experiences are the core content. The 75 texts provide insight into experiences from various treks and life stages. This creates a collection that can be read continuously or in smaller portions, with room for humor, reflection, and recognition for others who enjoy being outdoors.
From the Atlas Mountains to the great mountain ranges.
The stories move between Morocco, the Pyrenees, the Alps, and the Himalayas, among others. Landscapes and weather form the backdrop, while the people and the author’s own reactions make the experiences personal. The selection shows how varied treks can be and how small events sometimes leave as clear an impression as major goals, without every chapter needing to be about a record or a famous peak.
Reading material with an eye for detail along the way.
The book is suitable for those who enjoy mountain and travel literature and want more than just route descriptions. Reynolds makes room for atmosphere, situations, and the unexpected that arises on a trek. It can provide inspiration between one’s own travels, or serve as a fine gift for someone with an interest in the outdoors, regardless of whether the same areas are on a specific future travel plan.
A collection of stories for your own reading table.
A Walk in the Clouds is personal literature about mountain experiences, with the stories as the clear focus. Readers wishing to plan one of the treks in more detail should use relevant maps and specific route information in addition. The book primarily offers an encounter with an experienced writer’s life outdoors, and an opportunity to experience many different landscapes through his own words and memories from the treks.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher originated among climbers and mountaineers who wished to share their thorough knowledge of routes – a tradition that continues to characterize the publisher’s books on walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
