Erling Kagge is a Norwegian explorer who was the first in history to reach the 'three poles' - North, South and the summit of Everest. He now lives in Oslo where he runs a publishing house. He is the author of multiple books, including Silence, which is published in 38 languages, and Walking.
His wisdom will soothe and awaken
*Fearne Cotton*
An author for our noisy times, full of a rare and deeply redemptive
languor and perspective
*Alain de Botton*
A wonderfully deft Swiss army knife of a book. One really feels the
hard won wisdom at the book's heart, the graft and nouse of life
lived in arctic extremis. Kagge's preternatural energy, warmth and
sagacity shine - a cool-headed polar philosopher to treasure!
*Dan Richards*
A delightful book that explores the strange land between getting
out of bed in the morning and reaching for the moon
*Tristan Gooley*
As an explorer Erling Kagge is world class; as a writer he is
equally gifted
A marvellous human being
*Chris Evans*
Essential survival and life lessons from polar explorer
*Foyles newsletter*
Silence braces a space within which we can hear ourselves think.
Quietly, wisely, it makes a case for dumbing the din of modern
life, and learning to listen again. Drawing on the experiences of
Kagge's extraordinary life in wild places, this is a book of great
concentration
