ウィンターダンス - イディタロッドを駆ける狂気の美しさ
犬ぞりへの情熱に突き動かされ、ゲイリー・ポールセンは危険な無知と猛烈な決意を胸に、アラスカの荒野を横断する1,180マイルの犬ぞりレース「イディタロッド」に挑んだ。17日間、彼と犬たちのチームは、目を刺すような吹雪、猛吹雪、凍傷、犬同士の喧嘩、ムースの襲撃、不眠、幻覚に耐え、そして絶え間ない前進への執念に駆られ続けた。
ゲイリー・ポールセン著
I picked this up for a long flight and didn't put it down once—Paulsen's raw descriptions of the 1,180-mile race and his near-disasters with the dogs made me feel the cold and exhaustion on every page. Even the parts about training in the off-season had me hooked.
This is the rare book that makes you feel the freezing wind and the utter exhaustion of the 1,180-mile trail, not just read about it. Paulsen's honesty about the "fine madness" of it all kept me turning pages well past midnight, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about the dogs since I finishe
I was hooked from the first page—the way Paulsen describes nearly dying out on the ice but still laughing about it captures the race's sheer insanity. It's a fast read that makes you feel the brutal cold and the raw bond with the dogs.
