Book Synopsis
A Wild Hunt: Wilderness as a Metaphor for Life
Compiled & Edited by Tony Arnold
At any given moment on life's trail, there are 359 wrong turns waiting to be taken. This book is your compass.
Compiled from the unfinished notebooks of a legendary (if unrepentant) big-game adventurer and completed by a literary heir determined to see the work through, A Wild Hunt gathers 360 of the sharpest, strangest, and most soul-stirring quotations ever collected on wandering, hunting, and finding your way — voices ranging from Thoreau, Hemingway, and Aldo Leopold to Lao Tzu, Nietzsche, and Theodore Roosevelt, alongside sportsmen, poets, philosophers, and a few delightful oddballs history nearly forgot.
This isn't a dusty anthology to skim once and shelve. It's a field guide for the lost — equal parts trail marker and campfire conversation, built for the hunter who's really hunting for meaning, the traveler who prefers no fixed itinerary, and anyone who's ever suspected that the wilderness outside is just a mirror for the wilderness within.
Unapologetically old-school, gleefully irreverent, and built for readers who want their wisdom served without the safety rails, A Wild Hunt is the rare quote book you'll actually reach for again — whether you're packing for the backcountry or just trying to find your way through an ordinary Tuesday.
Large print edition. For the elderly and/or inebriated.
