O knihe

"Rice is a poet, and wilderness is his muse." -Robert Roberg, Smithsonian Folk Artist
Ten Year Anniversary Edition includes twenty-five images from the adventure, plus three new journal entries by the author.

"Today I am an unemployed writer living as a recluse in the great Northwoods." So begins this North Country journal from the author of THIS SIDE OF A WILDERNESS, and the founding publisher of Riverfeet Press. In the spring of 2011, Rice resigned from his career with the U.S. Geological Survey, and moved alone into a tent deep in the forests of northern Minnesota. THE UNPEOPLED SEASON is his daily record of four months in isolation. But it is more than a catalog of events. It is a compassionate and introspective quest into mankind's connection to wild places. He writes with humor about his follies and foibles, shares technical know-how about setting up camp, ruminates on fishing, introduces wild animals, and discusses the often invigorating, occasionally disconcerting, task of confronting solitude.
"It has always been my understanding that truth and freedom can only exist in wild places."
