{"product_id":"the-hiking-book-from-hell","title":"The Hiking Book From Hell","description":"Sometime around his forties, Are Kalvø starts losing his friends … to the mountains. Friends who used to meet him at the pub are now hiking and skiing every weekend, and when they do show up, all they talk about is feeling at one with nature (without a hint of irony). When Are realizes he’s the only person who hasn’t posted a selfie on a mountain, he starts to wonder: does he have it all wrong? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo find out, Are buys some ridiculously expensive gear and heads into the woods.The result of his sardonic trek is at once a smart and funny take-down of outdoors culture, and a reluctant surrender to nature’s undeniable pull. An adventure, a comedy, and a tragedy, The Hiking Book from Hell is destined to become a nature writing (and nature hating) classic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAre Kalvø is one of Norway's leading comedians and satirists who has worked in standup for over twenty-five years. He has produced prize-winning musicals, reviews, an opera, and almost a dozen books. He often writes about things he doesn't know much about. This is the first time that he is also writing about something he doesn't understand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Heritage House Pub.","offers":[{"title":"Not Applicable \/ -","offer_id":47849028092226,"sku":"HHP00000-  -","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/3708\/0642\/files\/VPO_HeritageHousePub_The_Hiking_Book_From_Hell_Not_Applicable_1_0534ffaf-8bfe-4f37-9da8-f9d4fd48cb0f.jpg?v=1724377806","url":"https:\/\/checkout.vpo.ca\/products\/the-hiking-book-from-hell","provider":"Valhalla Pure Outfitters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
