Productbeschrijving

'From the first moment I stepped off the highway and entered the wilderness, I knew that something was watching me. It was the most primitive hatred imaginable reaching out towards me, seeking to burn me from the face of the earth.' When British climber David Fletcher decided to explore the remote Hayes group of mountains in Alaska he was wamed about soloing so far from rescue. Never could he have imagined that he was about to enter into a battle as fierce as Captain Ahab's with the great whale. But this is real life, not fiction, and Fletcher's adversary is the most feared creature in the Alaskan wildemess, a grizzly - a 10-foot high, 3-ton, furious mother bear whose cub he has accidentally killed in a moment of panic. Fletcher is appalled at his own mistake and full of sorrow for the bear, but he knows that unless he can kill her, she will certainly destroy him.;Hunted is the true story of how the vengeful bear, each of her paws wider than a man's chest, with talons five inches long, stalks her human quarry over the rugged Alaskan terrain, cutting him off from his food supply, nearly comering him time and again, her claws raking his climbing boots as he hangs from a rope inches above her reach, once trapping him in a crevasse which threatens to collapse in on him under her shifting weight as she reaches to hook him out. Man and bear are partners in a deadly game, a strange intimacy. Seldom has the remorseless contest between man and beast been so vividly portrayed.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
