Lonesome

Memoirs of a Wilderness Dog

av Chris Czajkowski
Häftad,  Engelska, 2004-04-01

Slutsåld

Charming, humorous and utterly engaging, this is a book that will make readers laugh and cry. Written from the point of view and in the voice of the authors dog, Lonesome, its observations of life in the wilds reveal a dog with great character, charm -- and attitude. Named for her first home, remote Lonesome Lake in British Columbias Tweedsmuir Park, Lonesome was a first-rate companion: obedient, mannerly, brave, yet occasionally cynical. She did not share her humans love of the wilderness, and wore a martyred expression for most of her life. She would have much preferred a life in the suburbs, with nice safe walks in the park and a cosy bed inside the house. Lonesomes memoirs paint a vivid and not altogether flattering picture of her life with Chris, but as she states, I am not a vindictive creature and this book will remain family reading. Lonesome loftily points out in her introduction that her book focuses on events not already recounted in Chriss previous books, and she shares her unique canine perspective on their day-to-day life in the wilds.

Övrig information

Chris Czajkowski is well-known author and naturalist who has lived in the wilderness for the last 21 years. When she decided to build her own home in the backwoods of British Columbia's Coast Mountains, all the odds were against her. She was not entirely used to using a chainsaw; she knew little about building; and she had never lived so far from amenities. Yet she intended to do it alone. Her family had always lived by the code "If you want something, you make it rather than buy it".
