Wild

In Wild: An Elemental Journey, Jay Griffiths explores how indigenous cultures maintain a symbiotic relationship with the natural world. Based on years of travel from the Amazon to the Arctic, she argues that true wildness is a state of deep, creative connection rather than unmanaged chaos. The writing rejects standard travel tropes, offering a gritty and direct look at societies that live as part of the earth rather than its owners. It serves as a pragmatic study of human belonging and the authentic truth of a place.
