Critic Reviews

“His wisdom will soothe and awaken”

Fearne Cotton
An author for our noisy times, full of a rare and deeply redemptive languor and perspective Alain de Botton
A wonderfully deft Swiss army knife of a book. One really feels the hard won wisdom at the book's heart, the graft and nouse of life lived in arctic extremis. Kagge's preternatural energy, warmth and sagacity shine - a cool-headed polar philosopher to treasure! Dan Richards
