'The most beautiful book I ever read.' – Rune Larsson, ultra-distance runner
Markus Torgeby was just 20 years old when he headed off into the remote Swedish forest to live as a recluse and dedicate himself to his one true passion: running. He lived in a tent in the wilderness, braving the harsh Swedish winters – for four years. This is his story.
A talented long-distance runner in his teens, Markus Torgeby excelled in training, but often failed inexplicably in competition. Pressurised by his coach and consumed by the suffering of his MS-afflicted mother, he chose to do something that most of us only dream of: escape the modern world.
In his stripped-back lifestyle in the woods, surviving with the bare minimum of supplies and enduring extreme cold, he found salvation and ultimately his true direction in life.
An international bestseller, this extraordinary book is a powerful exploration of running, resilience, loss, and self-discovery.

Markus Torgeby is today considered an authority on long-distance and trail running. He now lives with his wife and children in Jämtland, Sweden, not far from his former home in the forest.
