The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit
Confounded by the idea that passing the prime of your life in a cubicle, spending hours a day at a computer, in exchange for money, was considered acceptable, but relaxing in a tent in the woods was disturbed, Christopher Knight (known by the community nearby as the North Pond Hermit) survived alone in the woods for more than twenty-five years . . .
“Campfire-friendly and thermos-ready, easily drained in one warm, rummy slug. It also raises a variety of profound questions — about the role of solitude, about the value of suffering, about the diversity of human needs.” -- The New York Times
