À propos de cet audio
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
Winner of the 2024 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction
Finalist for the Ottawa Books Awards
Into the Wild meets Born to Run meets The Stranger in the Woods in a fascinating true story of a marathon-running hermit and a journalist’s quest to solve the mystery at the core of the enigmatic man’s existence
When journalist Brett Popplewell first heard about Dag Aabye, an aging former stuntman who lived alone inside a school bus on a mountain, running day and night through blizzards and heat waves, he was intrigued and bewildered. Captivated by the seemingly implausible tale of a wild super-athlete aging more slowly than the rest of us, he was determined to meet the apocryphal white-haired man who was pushing the boundaries of the human mind and body beyond what anyone could dream was possible.
What Popplewell witnessed on a secluded mountain perch led him on a six-year odyssey to uncover the true story of the 81-year-old man.
Outsider takes listeners on a remarkable journey from Nazi-occupied Norway to Argentina and British Columbia. The book chronicles how a child born under mysterious circumstances during World War II finds his way onto the big screen in Goldfinger, is heralded as the world’s first extreme skier, and is later driven into the wilderness. Both joyful and tragic, Outsider presents a bold challenge to our notions of aging, belonging and human accomplishment.

Histoire
Wyatt Earp is regarded as the most famous lawman of the Old West, best known for his role in the Gunfight at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. But the story of his two-year war with a band of outlaws known as the Cowboys has never been told in full. The Cowboys were the largest outlaw gang in the history of the American West. After battles with the law in Texas and New Mexico, they shifted their operations to Arizona. There, they ruled the border, robbing, rustling, smuggling, and killing with impunity until they made the fatal mistake of tangling with the Earp brothers.

While growing up in Peace River, Alberta, Trina Moyles heard many stories of Lookout Observers--strange, eccentric types who spent five-month summers alone, climbing 100-foot high towers and watching for signs of fire in the surrounding boreal forest. How could you isolate yourself for that long? she wondered. "I could never do it," she told herself.

Fascinating true story
This was a great book to listen to. A true story of the life of an outcast. It is yet another reminder of how much things that happen to us when we are but children affect us as adults - we don't just get over it.

Captivating
The author takes you on an amazing journey of Dag’s life and origins. Makes you contemplate how our perception of our origins and who we think we are can limit us. Lessons on persistence too. Wonderful bits of philosophy from Dag along the way.
Narrator is excellent.

Such an intriguing story
I loved listening to this story of a man of mystery, an enigma. The winding path that leads back and forth between his past, his birth story and his present never disappoints!

Captivating Read
This man’s life was so captivating. It was very interesting how the author was eventually able to find out his family of origin which wasn’t an easy task and wasn’t what Dag originally believed it to be. His philosophy of life is something we all could learn from. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. GREAT READ!!
