Bill Bryson's masterpiece depicting humanity's love and challenge for nature.
The world's longest trail cycle, filled with breathtaking scenery and entertaining stories.

This book, a masterpiece that allows you to truly experience the true nature of Bill Bryson, “the world’s most humorous travel writer,” is the author’s story of his struggles as he took on the Appalachian Trail, the world’s longest trail, fraught with numerous dangers but also beautiful scenery.
The Appalachian Trail is a 3,500-kilometer-long trail that stretches from Georgia to Maine in the United States.
The author stumbles upon a path that leads into the woods near his hometown, and discovers that it leads directly to the Appalachian Trail.
He decides to embark on a grand journey to hike the Appalachian Trail, and sets out with a friend, a man with human flaws, in his backpack.


Despite the many challenges that plague them - imperfect maps, occasional black bears, unidentifiable and merciless insects, and savage weather - they find there the purely human joy of walking in nature.
This story, which unfolds through a combination of the grand nature of the national park, the beauty of the forests and trees, and the delightful and sometimes incomprehensible foolishness of humans, provides readers with tremendous fun and emotion.
Moreover, as you follow the author's story, you will deeply experience the great lesson of coexistence between humans and nature and the preservation of nature.
Bill Bryson's daring journey along the 1,400-kilometer Appalachian Trail, which he trod on himself, is filled with humor, a stark reminder of human folly, and, above all, a love of nature.
