NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
Robyn Davidson's opens the memoir of her perilous journey across 1,700 miles of hostile Australian desert to the sea with only four camels and a dog for company with the following words: “I experienced that sinking feeling you get when you know you have conned yourself into doing something difficult and there's no going back."
Enduring sweltering heat, fending off poisonous snakes and lecherous men, chasing her camels when they get skittish and nursing them when they are injured, Davidson emerges as an extraordinarily courageous heroine driven by a love of Australia's landscape, an empathy for its indigenous people, and a willingness to cast away the trappings of her former identity. Tracks is the compelling, candid story of her odyssey of discovery and transformation.
“An unforgettably powerful book.”—Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Fair. In April 1977, the author set off from Alice Springs to cross 1700 miles of desert and bush with four camels and a dog. Before she could leave Alice Springs, Robyn had to learn to ride, train and doctor camels which can weigh up to a ton. For 200 miles she was accompanied by Eddie, a respected elder of his Aboriginal tribe, who told her myths and stories of the Dream-time, showing her how everything in the wilderness fitted together in one integrated perception. This is the story of her travels. This book won the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award in 1980. A readable copy of the book which may include some defects such as highlighting and notes.
