Wild Stories - The Best Of Men's Journal : Ten Years Of Great Writing

by Sebastian Junger, Jim Harrison, Mark Bowden
Wild Stories - The Best Of Men's Journal : Ten Years Of Great Writing - Thryft
Wild Stories - The Best Of Men's Journal : Ten Years Of Great Writing - Thryft

Adventure-packed anthology for thrill-seekers.

"Wild Stories" would be a great read for those interested in non-fiction travel writing. It includes a variety of stories from well-known authors such as P.J. O'Rourke and Paul Theroux. The book's unique feature is its focus on men's interests and perspectives in outdoor activities. This makes it a great recommendation for male readers who enjoy non-fiction that combines adventure and travel writing.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

For the past decade, Men’s Journal has set the standard for travel and adventure writing by publishing the work of America’s finest authors and literary journalists. Wild Stories collects thirty-two of the best pieces to appear in the magazine, written by its most esteemed contributors, including Jim Harrison, Sebastian Junger, P. J. O’Rourke, Rick Bass, Thomas McGuane, George Plimpton, Hampton Sides, Doug Stanton, Tim Cahill, and Mark Bowden. Each of the four chapters in Wild Stories showcases Men’s Journal’s diversity and taut storytelling power. “The Adventures” is a series of razor-sharp travel narratives, from a road trip across India on the perilous Grand Trunk Road to a search for grizzlies in Romania. “The Sporting Life” is a look into obscure corners of the sports world, where golf’s bush-league wannabes try to make it to the PGA and a group of cyclists out-suffer one another in pursuit of the mythic Hour Record. “Men’s Lives” includes profiles of singular adventurers such as Yvon Chouinard and Ned Gillette, and captures the rewards of such quintessentially male traditions as building a cabin on your own plot of land. And “The Reporting” collects definitive accounts of the most newsworthy disasters, as well as riveting dispatches from war zones in Somalia, Sudan, and Colombia, and from environmental hot spots in Alaska and Montana.Commemorating Men’s Journal’s tenth anniversary, Wild Stories is a diverse and entertaining anthology that explores the magazine’s basic creed: Life is an adventure. From the first page to the last, these are stories you’ll never forget.
