Explorer By: Benedict Allen [Audiobook]

Author: Benedict Allen
Narrated by: Orlando Wells

What does it mean to be an explorer in the 21st century?

Explorer is the story of what first led Benedict Allen to head for the farthest reaches of our planet – at a time when there were still valleys and ranges known only to the remote communities who inhabited them. It is also the story of why, 30 years later, he is still exploring. It’s the story of a journey back to a clouded mountain in New Guinea to find a man called Korsai who had once been a friend, and to fulfil a promise made as young men. It is also a story of what it is to be ‘lost’ and ‘found’.

Honest, sensitive and packed with insight, in Explorer, Allen considers the lessons he has learnt from his numerous expeditions – most importantly, from the communities he has encountered: there is a value in disconnecting from all that we are familiar with, particularly in today’s crowded world. And there is a value in connecting with worlds unfamiliar to us, some of whom have lived in harmony, not competition, with nature for generations.

We explore not to plant a flag or leave a mark, but to open up and allow the place and people to leave their mark on us.

Book Description
================
What does it mean to be an explorer in the 21st century?
Explorer is the story of what first led Benedict Allen to head for the 
farthest reaches of our planet - at a time when there were still valleys 
and ranges known only to the remote communities who inhabited them. 
It is also the story of why, 30 years later, he is still exploring. 
It's the story of a journey back to a clouded mountain in New Guinea 
to find a man called Korsai who had once been a friend, and to fulfil 
a promise made as young men. It is also a story of what it is to be 
'lost' and 'found'.
Honest, sensitive and packed with insight, in Explorer, Allen considers 
the lessons he has learnt from his numerous expeditions - most importantly, 
from the communities he has encountered: there is a value in disconnecting 
from all that we are familiar with, particularly in today's crowded 
world. And there is a value in connecting with worlds unfamiliar to 
us, some of whom have lived in harmony, not competition, with nature 
for generations.
We explore not to plant a flag or leave a mark, but to open up and allow 
the place and people to leave their mark on us.
