      Dopo la morte prematura della madre, il traumatico naufragio del suo matrimonio, una giovinezza disordinata e difficile, Cheryl a soli ventisei anni si ritrova con la vita sconvolta. Alla ricerca di sé oltre che di un senso, decide di attraversare a piedi l'America selvaggia per oltre quattromila chilometri, tra montagne, foreste, animali, rocce impervie, torrenti impetuosi, caldo torrido e freddo estremo. Una scrittura intensa come la vicenda che racconta, da cui emergono con forza tutto il fascino degli spazi incontaminati e la fragilità della condizione umana di fronte a una natura grandiosa e potente. Una storia di avventura e formazione, di paura e coraggio, di fuga e rinascita.

      Winner of a Foreword IndieFab Book of the Year AwardIn 1967, Joan Didion wrote an essay called Goodbye to All That , a work of such candid and penetrating prose that it soon became the gold standard for personal essays. Like no other story before it, Didion’s tale of loving and leaving New York captured the mesmerizing allure Manhattan has always had for writers, poets, and wandering spirits.In this captivating collection, 28 writers take up Didion’s literary legacy by sharing their own New York stories. Their essays often begin as love stories do, with the passion of something newly discovered—the crush of subway crowds, the streets filled with manic energy, and the certainty that this is the only place on Earth where one can become exactly who she is meant to be.They also share the grief that comes when the metropolis loses its magic and the pressures of New York’s frenetic life wear thin on even the most fervent dwellers. As friends move away, rents soar, and love—still— remains just out of reach, each writer’s goodbye to New York is singular and universal, like New York itself.With Cheryl Strayed, Dani Shapiro, Emma Straub, Ann Hood, and more.

      BESTSELLER #1 „NEW YORK TIMESA” KULTOWA KSIĄŻKA PRZETŁUMACZONA NA TRZYDZIEŚCI JĘZYKÓW Jeszcze nigdy nie było tak źle, a wszystko wydarzyło się jedno po drugim: rozpad małżeństwa, strata najbliższej osoby, brak wsparcia rodziny, nietrafione wybory miłosne. Cheryl znalazła się w punkcie, w którym czuła jedynie frustrację, gniew i przytłaczającą bezradność. Aby na nowo odnaleźć siebie, postanowiła wyruszyć w podróż. Zdecydowała się na samotną wyprawę najtrudniejszym szlakiem wzdłuż wybrzeża Ameryki Północnej, liczącym cztery tysiące kilometrów. Ta wędrówka zmieniła wszystko. Dzika droga to prawdziwa, brutalnie szczera i inspirująca historia o odzyskiwaniu równowagi. Opowieść o pokonywaniu własnych słabości i znajdowaniu siły, by zawalczyć o siebie i swoje życie. LEKTURA OBOWIĄZKOWA DLA KAŻDEGO, KTO SZUKA WŁASNEJ DROGI. „Prawie spadłam z krzesła… To była szalona literacka jazda… Stymulująca, zmuszająca do myślenia, wzmacniająca duszę”. Oprah Winfrey * Na podstawie Dzikiej drogi powstał film, w którym główne role zagrały Reese Witherspoon i Laura Dern – za swoje kreacje obie aktorki zostały nominowane do Oscara.
