Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
Fueled by a passion for running dogs, Gary Paulsen entered the Iditarod--the 1150-mile winter sled-dog race between Anchorage and Nome-- in dangerous ignorance and with a fierce determination. Winterdance is his account of this seventeen-day battle against Nature's worst elements and his own frailty.
From Booklist
Paulsen's survival adventure is in the tradition of Jack London: one man and his dog team together against the Arctic wilderness. With everything stripped down to the barest essentials, Paulsen finds elemental connection with a world beyond cities, family, and work. His prose is spare and physical; at its best, it has the fluid simplicity of Hemingway. On the other hand, there is too much reliance on the pattern of menace beneath the surface. Paulsen is always teetering on the edge of a precipice, waiting to be dragged, dropped, crashed, frozen, torn apart, and buried alive. Fortunately, however, he also has a sense of farce, and there's a lot of the Marx Brothers here. As Paulsen makes clear from the start, the Iditarod race is itself an absurd undertaking--to run with a dog team for 1,800 miles through unimaginable cold, "winds beyond belief, roaring waters and deadly dreams." What's most moving is his behavior at the end of the race: "I didn't want to go in," he says. Armchair travelers will understand. Hazel Rochman

This story by Gary Paulsen never lets up but gets better with every page. We are taken into the faraway world of the Iditarod sled race that is as much an adventure on another planet, where dogs are meant for your survival. Paulsen's lyric is spare, just as you picture the barren landscape that at times is described as stunningly beautiful. You learn a lot, about the frigid Alaskan wilderness and especially about the race itself, while the author goes through his own initiation as a rookie musher. I didn't find Paulsen to be as humorous as most do. Rather, his dry delivery for continous laughs kind of bugged me. I would have liked more background in the beginning instead of reported experience. Still, Paulsen does a masterful job here. Dog lovers will especially find the tale insightful and right on.

This book was the most delightful story I've read in years.....I read it on the bus to work every morning and laughed all the way to work. This has got to be one of two of my all time favorites. My best friend,after reading it, said she immediately went outside to hitch her cat to a wagon! A quick, delightful read.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book is so great, you will need two copies - one to loan out and one to keep so you can reread it.
Be ready to have tears streaming down your face from laughter. Be ready to get an understanding of the sled dog's true nature and abilities that you could never have gained elsewhere unless you are a musher yourself.
This book is not for dog lovers alone, or dog sledders. It is for those who just enjoy a great story. It is for those whose who think running these dogs shouldn't happen. It is for anyone who wants to laugh while getting insight into a very unique way of life.
I purchased this book over a year ago. I haven't seen it since except to pass it from one person to another to borrow and read.
My husband never appreciated the true intelligence of our sled dogs until he read this book himself. And now he's known as Musher Bill - someone who truly understands what our dogs do an why.
To Gary and his wife - thanks so much for one of the best books I have ever read. I can't wait for the movie!
