Reflexiones:
- las personas son dependientes de la naturaleza pero no viceversa.
- las relaciones con animales pueden ser igual o mas valiosas que las que con otros humanos.
- como podemos crear un espacio y como los espacios que tenemos ahora son cuidados
- que es peor cuando estas sola en un bosque, encontrarte a un oso o a un hombre?

A lovely and relaxing reflection on lonliness, nature, society, and what it means to be human. It’s very slow paced, but very easy to read, if a little repetitive at times. The narrator’s journey is compelling despite the lack of any true threat/plot. I think it appeals to the shared inner thought of “would i be able to survive in the wild”. Haushofer’s apocalypse is at once peacefully liberating and quietly devastating.

She might’ve died from starvation and loneliness, but I died of boredom.
If you enjoyed I Who Have Never Known Men, you may like this book. In a similar fashion, this is a quiet yet devastating meditation on loneliness and resilience.
It’s slow-paced, repetitive, and monotonous yet I found myself deeply immersed in the life of this unnamed woman whenever I picked this book up. I initially thought I could read this in one go, but had to take major breaks as I felt this overwhelming sense of dread and inevitability, which grew stronger and stronger the further I read on.
We follow an unnamed fmc who finds herself trapped in the Austrian Alps, after an invisible wall encloses around a part of her surroundings. With only some animal companions for company she struggles to survive and adapts to a life of solitude, while reflecting on her past and on her existence. As time passes, her isolation forces her to confront both the physical hardships of survival and the psychological weight of her loneliness.
This novel explores themes of isolation, survival, time, feminism and nature. Haushofer’s prose is introspective and often repetitive, which mirrors the monotony of the MCs existence.
Just like I who Have Never Known Men, I’ll be thinking about this book for quite some time.
