Torbjorn Ekelund

The Boy and the Mountain

A Father, His Son, and a Journey of Discovery

Übersetzung: Becky L. Cook

Critically acclaimed writer: Torbjørn Ekelund's books have been reviewed and praised in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and the Toronto Star, among other outlets. * Highlights the joys and struggles of parenthood: In poignant prose, Ekelund describes the experience of watching his son go out into the world for the first time. * Inspired by a historical mystery: Ekelund and his son retrace the steps of 6 year old Hans Torske, who disappeared in Norway's Skrim mountains in 1894-a story that has haunted Ekelund for years. * A love letter to children and nature: Includes insights into how children experience nature differently from adults. * Engaging and powerful writing: Humble, self-deprecating, warmly observant, and compassionate, Ekelund infuses seemingly insignificant moments, such as sitting out rainy weather or setting up camp, with value and meaning.
