Hard cover, with dust jacket. As new condition.
"They Call Me The Wildman: The Prison Diary of Henricke Nelsen" by Robert Hollingsworth presents a fascinating and poignant glimpse into the life of Henricke Nelsen, a 19th-century Danish immigrant who becomes a recluse in the Australian bush. Through Nelsen's prison diary, discovered and annotated by Hollingsworth, readers are introduced to a man of deep introspection and resilience, who lived in solitude for years before being imprisoned for vagrancy. The diary entries offer insight into Nelsen's thoughts, his survivalist lifestyle, and his interactions with the harsh Australian landscape. Hollingsworth's contextual commentary enriches the narrative, providing historical background and exploring the broader implications of Nelsen's story on themes of isolation, freedom, and the human spirit.
