À propos de cet audio
With foreword by Daniel Radcliffe.
I heard the rustle again, too close and too real to ignore. I clutched the flashlight, stuck my head out of the mosquito net...and found myself face-to-face with a jaguar.
Four travellers meet in Bolivia and set off into the Amazon rainforest on an expedition to find a hidden tribe and explore places tourists only dream of seeing. But what begins as the adventure of a lifetime quickly becomes a struggle for survival when they get lost in the wilds of the jungle.
The group splits up after disagreements, and Yossi and his friend try to find their own way back without a guide. But when a terrible rafting accident separates them, Yossi is forced to survive for weeks alone in one of the most unpredictable environments on the planet.
Stranded without a knife, map or survival training, he must improvise shelter and forage for wild fruit to survive. As his skin begins to rot from his feet during raging storms and he loses all sense of direction, he wonders if he will make it back alive. It's a story of friendship and of the teachings of the forest, and a terrifying true account that you won't be able to put down.

In 2013 Jaivet Ealom fled Myanmar's brutal regime, where Rohingya like him were being persecuted and killed, and boarded a boat of asylum seekers bound for Australia. Instead of finding refuge, he was transported to Australia's infamous Manus Regional Processing Centre. Blistering hot days spent in shipping containers on the island melted into weeks, then years . . . until, finally, facing either jail in Papua New Guinea or being returned to almost certain death in Myanmar, he took matters into his own hands.

On October 12, 1972, a plane carrying a team of young rugby players crashed into the remote, snow-peaked Andes. Out of the 45 original passengers and crew, only 16 made it off the mountain alive. For 10 excruciating weeks, they suffered deprivations beyond imagining, confronting nature head-on at its most furious and inhospitable. And to survive, these men and women not only had to keep their faith; they had to make an impossible decision: Should they eat the flesh of their dead friends?

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 93
Traverspine is not a place you will find on most maps. A century ago, it stood near the foothills of the remote Mealy Mountains in central Labrador. Today it is an abandoned ghost town, almost all trace of it swallowed up by dark spruce woods that cloak millions of acres. In the early 1900s, this isolated little settlement was the scene of an extraordinary haunting by large creatures none could identify. Strange tracks were found in the woods. Unearthly cries were heard in the night. Sled dogs went missing.

Gripping and often poetic, Alone Against the North is a classic adventure story of single-minded obsession, physical hardship, and the restless sense of wonder that every explorer has in common. What Shoalts discovered as he paddled downriver was a series of unmapped waterfalls that could easily have killed him. Just as astonishing was the media reaction when he got back to civilization. He was feted by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and congratulated by the Governor General. People were enthralled by Shoalts’s proof that the world is bigger than we think.

In August of 1914, the British ship Endurance set sail for the South Atlantic. In October 1915, still half a continent away from its intended base, the ship was trapped, then crushed in the ice. For five months, Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men, drifting on ice packs, were castaways in one of the most savage regions of the world. Lansing describes how the men survived a 1,000-mile voyage in an open boat across the stormiest ocean on the globe and an overland trek through forbidding glaciers and mountains.

Amazing survival story, but quite a tedious listen
Amazing story. Not the best writing. A bit long-winded. Great narrator. Easy listen, although tedious in parts.

I liked it
I enjoyed this book but I felt like the beginning couple hours were hard to follow and make connections or follow the characters. It wasn’t until several hours that the story got good. I read a lot of negative reviews but I enjoyed listening to it. They made a lot of mistakes but that is the truth of life. I wish the story had been cut by several chapters and some of the “dreaming” had been cut out because I didn’t feel like a lot of it needed to be in there.

Incredibly Intense
After watching the movie adaptation of this awhile back, I thought the book would be incredibly interesting to really get deeper into the insanity of what happened to Yossi and his friends on their fateful jungle trip - and I was not wrong.
This is one of those true stories that can be incredibly painful to witness at times (I chose the audio version of this book and it was intense to say the least) but incredibly compelling as well. I can't imagine living through this experience but it is well worth the read if you like adventure, true memoirs and survival stories!

stupid decision after stupid decision
This book is interesting to read and exciting. You will not feel bored. However, as a pretty experienced traveler, including to the Amazon, I cannot help but cringe repeatedly at the stupid decisions, male hubris, and utter arrogance of the characters. Any rare moment of relatability are totally shattered when I remember that I would never have set out on this journey in the first place. I am astonished utterly that the author has become a motivational speaker. He offers words of advice at the end and you would have to be completely deluded to ever think that this is a good person to take advice from. Decision after decision he fails to do the right or smart thing. He trusts people who are so obviously flawed and untrustworthy. He is also a total asshole to his friend and uses "the jungle" as an excuse. No sir, you are just an asshole. There is too much toxic masculinity for my liking but I could excuse it, given that it all happened in the 80s, if that very toxic masculinity and arrogance was not at the root of the complete and utter stupidity of most of the decisions made by both the author and his fellow travellers.
Also, if you are going to take a powerful hallucinogen for the fist time, I urge you NOT to do what he does. 1. Take a low dose your first time. 2. Don't take it while camping on a rocky cliff area.
Honestly his will to live and persevere is inspiring but his lack of logic, common sense, and ability to sense manipulation are astounding.
Still worth reading even if you are cringing at every bad idea along the way.

Flabbergasted
Surviving the Amazon jungle for any amount of time is absolutely to be commended, then you add in the absurd amount of bad decisions that were made throughout the story and I’m absolutely flabbergasted.
