His wisdom will soothe and awaken

An author for our noisy times, full of a rare and deeply redemptive languor and perspective

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!

A delightful book that explores the strange land between getting out of bed in the morning and reaching for the moon

As an explorer Erling Kagge is world class; as a writer he is equally gifted

A marvellous human being

Essential survival and life lessons from polar explorer

Silence braces a space within which we can hear ourselves think. Quietly, wisely, it makes a case for dumbing the din of modern life, and learning to listen again. Drawing on the experiences of Kagge's extraordinary life in wild places, this is a book of great concentration

'His work is more poetic than merely factual, and the esoteric significance of dreaming is discussed in an equally compelling manner...the appealing mystery of the topic is never lost.'

'[Ribeiro] lifts the lid on the human mind. The Oracle of Night contains a number of interesting insights...and includes the intriguing possibility of a link between dreams and psychosis.'

'Ribeiro's arguments are seductive, convincing, and persuasive...this wealth of scientific research is impressive.'
