Years after losing his lower right leg in a motorcycle crash, Robert Kull traveled to a remote island in Patagonia’s coastal wilderness with supplies to live alone for a year. He sought to explore the effects of deep solitude on the body and mind and to find the spiritual answers he’d been seeking all his life. With only a cat and his thoughts as companions, he wrestled with inner storms while the forces of nature raged around him. The physical challenges were immense, but the struggles of mind and spirit pushed him even further.

Solitude is the diary of Kull’s tumultuous year as well as a meditation on the tensions between nature and technology, isolation and society. With humor and brutal honesty, Kull explores the pain and longing we typically avoid in our busy lives as well as the peace and wonder that arise once we strip away our distractions.

Kull went into solitude seeking the Answer , but came back empty-handed. Wilderness, he found, is a place to clearly see the insanity of denying that the world is as it is. He discovered that life itself teaches us all we need to know — once we pause to really listen.

在一次摩托车事故中失去右下肢多年后，罗伯特-库尔带着物资来到巴塔哥尼亚沿海荒野的一个偏远岛屿，独自生活了一年。他试图探索深度孤独对身体和心灵的影响，并寻找他一生都在寻找的精神答案。只有一只猫和他的思想作为伙伴，他与内心的风暴搏斗，而大自然的力量在他周围肆虐。身体上的挑战是巨大的，但思想和精神上的斗争使他走得更远。

孤独》是库尔动荡的一年的日记，也是对自然与技术、孤立与社会之间紧张关系的沉思。库尔用幽默和残酷的诚实，探讨了我们在繁忙的生活中通常会回避的痛苦和渴望，以及一旦我们剥离了我们的干扰，就会出现的和平和奇迹。

库尔进入孤独中寻求答案，但却空手而归。他发现，荒野是一个可以清楚地看到否认世界本来面目的疯狂行为的地方。他发现，一旦我们停下来真正倾听，生活本身就会教给我们所有我们需要知道的东西。
