Silence

A charming, meditative and powerful read, Kagge explores the power of silence and the importance of shutting out the world in a bid to grow gratitude, self-knowledge, wonder and more. 'As an explorer Erling Kagge is world class; as a writer he is equally gifted...' Sir Ranulph Fiennes

Erling Kagge is an explorer who was the first in history to reach the 'three poles' - North, South and the summit of Everest. During these expeditions, he experienced extreme periods of silence - the longest being fifty days. He has since returned to Norway and searches for moments of silence amongst noisy family life and work as a writer and publisher. Silence is published in 33 languages.
