To devotees, it is something else entirely: a beautiful addiction, a mental and physical study, a passionate way of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew Yorker writer William Finnegan first started surfing as a young boy in California and Hawaii. Barbarian Days is his immersive memoir of a life spent travelling the world chasing waves through the South Pacific, Australia, Asia, Africa and beyond. Finnegan describes the edgy yet enduring brotherhood forged among the swell of the surf; and recalling his own apprenticeship to the world's most famous and challenging waves, he considers the intense relationship formed between man, board and water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBarbarian Days is an old-school adventure story, a social history, an extraordinary exploration of one man's gradual mastering of an exacting and little-understood art. It is a memoir of dangerous obsession and enchantment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Reading this guy on the subject of waves and water is like reading Hemingway on bullfighting; William Burroughs on controlled substances; Updike on adultery. . . . a coming-of-age story, seen through the gloss resin coat of a surfboard' Sports Illustrated\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59669142634577,"sku":"1472151410","price":44000.0,"currency_code":"CLP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/6455\/3809\/files\/71LmUaLzUZL.jpg?v=1781813913","url":"https:\/\/provetodo.cl\/es-cl\/products\/libro-barbarian-days-a-surfing-life","provider":"Provetodo ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
