MEDIA REVIEWS
"As an explorer Erling Kagge is world class; as a writer he is equally gifted. This breathtaking, inspiring little book teaches us how to find precious moments of silence - whether we are crossing the Antarctic, climbing Everest, or on the train at rush hour." - Sir Ranulph Fiennes
"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." - Robert Macfarlane
"Erling Kagge is a philosophical adventurer - or perhaps an adventurous philosopher." - New York Times
