The Boy and the Mountain: A Father, His Son, and a Journey of Discovery Ekelund Torbjorn
In this engrossing book, a father and son ascend a mountain together, retracing the steps of a boy who went missing there a century earlier--a quest that spawns a tender meditation on nature, family, and the joy of discovery.Six-year-old Hans Torske disappeared in Norway's Skrim mountains in 1894. More than 100 years later, nature writer Torbj rn Ekelund and his seven-year-old son, August, attempt the same summit. Why he wandered away from his family's cabin is still a mystery, but his body was found the following summer, lying atop a 2,860-foot mountain peak and covered with his thin jacket.
But soon he notices that the ways children and adults experience nature are vastly different, for better and for worse.The Boy and the Mountain reflects on It's August's first overnight hiking trip, and Ekelund is eager to share his love of nature with his son.
