Sigurd F. Olson Libri

    4 aprile 1899 – 13 gennaio 1982

    Sigurd F. Olson fu un autore, ambientalista e sostenitore della protezione della natura americano. Per oltre trent'anni, prestò servizio come guida naturalistica nei laghi e nelle foreste della regione Quetico-Superior nel Minnesota settentrionale e nell'Ontario nord-orientale. Era conosciuto onorificamente come il Bourgeois, un termine che gli antichi voyageurs usavano per i loro leader fidati. I suoi scritti celebrano la profonda bellezza e l'importanza vitale del mondo naturale.

      Sigurd F. Olson was for more than thirty years a wilderness guide in the Quetico-Superior country, and no one knew with the same intimacy the mysteries of the lakes and forests of that magnificent primitive area. To the many out-of-doorsmen who canoed and portaged with him through this wilderness, he was known honorifically as the Bourgeois--as the voyageurs of old called their trusted leaders through this same region.

      In Runes of the North Sigurd F. Olson explores the haunting appeal of the wilderness. He recounts how the legends of the northern vastness of Canada and Alaska have influenced him, weaving the tales and myths with his own stories and experiences as an explorer, writer, grandfather, and biologist. Now available in paperback for the first time, Runes of the North is a mystical and reflective guide to the northern wilderness written with a oneness and communion with nature that is unique to Olson's pen. It is a work filled with beauty, wisdom, and renewal.
