UNDER THE OPEN SKIES - MARKUS TORGEBY FRIDA TOR...

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERA guide for living outdoors and communing with the natural
world-under the open skies.I believe in sleeping outdoors  surrounded by tall fir trees 
darkness and cold. Lying on my back and looking up at the stars  watching my breath form thin
clouds.Under the Open Skies is one man's perspective-shifting  immersive journey into the wilds
of northern Sweden and into his own soul.For four years  Markus Torgeby lived alone in a hut he
built with his hands in the Jämtland forest on the northern tip of Sweden  reconnecting with
nature  and healing from the stress and strain of urban life and an athletic career derailed by
injury.For Markus  living in the forest provided something concrete-cool winter air on his face
a cotton canvas of clouds overhead  wet clothes drying over the fire. Free from the constraints
of modernity  his only responsibilities were the basics of survival-shelter  heat  food. Rooted
on theground under a bed of leaves  with his head finally aligned with his body  Markus found
the solitude and silence he needed to be reborn.In this moving elegy  Markus offers lessons
both practical-how to make fire  how to craft an outdoor bed  how to tap trees for water-and
profound-what it means to become one with the natural world  to live authentically  to
reconnect with yourself and your surroundings. Illustrated with 75 beautiful full-color
photographs taken by his wife  Frida  Under the Open Skies is as invigorating as a long hike on
a brisk morning and as sublime as a bowl of cinnamon porridge at the end of a long day. It is
an invitation-to the stressed  disconnected  and lonely  to all who yearn to unplug and slow
down  to those who wonder how life got so complicated-to come home to nature  to open the mind
and heart to the wide-open sky.
