Description
Eustace Conway's life has been a series of bold challenges and adventures. At seventeen, he left his suburban home to live alone in the mountains, building everything he needed from scratch. He continued to push himself, travelling by canoe down the Mississippi, hiking across Europe, and riding his horse across America. Over twenty years on, Eustace still resides in a thousand-acre forest, teaching survival skills and sharing his passion for nature with others. Yet, as he reflects on his life, he has had to reconcile his ambitions with the realities of modernity. Elizabeth Gilbert's portrait of this endlessly complicated man is both fascinating and intimate, revealing a visionary, a narcissist, and a brilliant but flawed individual who has lived an unforgettable adventure story.
