Fascinating, thought-provoking, and unlike any biography you’ve read before.
Eustace Conway left conventional society as a teenager to live in the Appalachian Mountains, hunting his own food, building his own shelter, and carving out a life entirely on his own terms. Elizabeth Gilbert’s portrait of this modern-day frontiersman is both a compelling character study and a meditation on freedom, self-reliance, and what the American dream has cost us.
“He wanted to live deliberately, to carve out a life that was his own.”
Perfect for readers of biography, nature writing, and cultural critique. Fans of Into the Wild (Jon Krakauer) and Desert Solitaire (Edward Abbey) will be captivated.
A paperback (2002 edition) in Fair condition — visible wear but fully readable.
