Sinopsis

The Appalachian National Scenic Trail is a 2,189-mile-long mountain trail with a cumulative elevation gain of 464,500 feet. It runs through an impressive wealth of woodland, crossing great forests and National Parks in the United States. In the past, these lands belonged to Indian Nations, such as the Cherokees, Delawares, Catawbas and Abenakies. The country became part of the British Colonies before becoming part of the United States of America. The Appalachian trail runs across fourteen states: Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Hikers who attempt to walk the trail have to survive in the forest for days on end, just like other animals. The author spent one hundred and forty-two consecutive days on the trail to become the first Thru-Hiker from Spain to finish the trail alone, without any back-up support. A truly extraordinary experience. While overcoming this tremendous challenge, the author adopted the trail name “Basajaun,” the name of a creature from Basque mythology who dwells in the woods, half human, half beast.

Acerca del autor

Jon Galdos Elguezabal Autor

Jon Galdos Elguezabal (Lezama-Amurrio, País Vasco, Spain) presents his first literary work, a work in which he demonstrates his talent as a writer, a talent that he nurtured for years. He is an experienced climber with a passion for the natural world, who began his career as an endurance athlete at the age of six when he began walking five miles to school every day. In the heart of this tireless traveler dwells an adventurous and nomadic spirit, which constantly pushes him to learn new things, and provides him within an endless well of perseverance that supports his dreams to the end. A long-distance hiker who has conquered trails across the world, he has a special interest in history and the cultural legacy of the different areas in Spain, a country which he has explored extensively by foot on trails and paths, some of which are thousands of years old. In 2016, he put a premature end to his professional life and set out on the adventure he had been dreaming of for ten long years, to hike along the entire Appalachian Trail. This feat comes to life through the pages of the book that the reader now holds in his hands.
