Solitude by Terry Waite
Terry Waite explores the widely different forms of solitary existence from different people he's met.
"This is a thoughtful and sensitive book from a man who endured the fear and loneliness of captivityNow, years later, Terry Waite explores solitude in its many forms."Stella Rimington DBE, former Director General of MI5;"No one is better qualified to write about solitude than Terry Waite, who spent nearly five years of his life in solitary confinement. His exploration of solitude - he calls it a saunter - takes him from his personal ordeal to the Australian outback, to the home of a former British double agent in Moscow, and beyond. His book will be of great value to those who have suffered from too much company or too little, or are interested in the phenomenon of being alone, which is not at all the same as being lonely. Terry Waite's saunter through solitude is wide ranging, original, well written and (best of all) companionable."- Martin Bell OBE, UNICEF ambassador and former war reporter;"This is a wonderfully perceptive and engaging book. Terry Waite takes the reader deep into other worlds, both geographical and psychological, from which they will emerge enlightened and spiritually enriched."- Ranulph Fiennes OBE, explorer, writer and poet
