Building a fire to warm your home is incredibly satisfying. Splitting logs, stacking and seasoning the wood, and then building a fire is the height of self-sufficiency. Norwegian Wood is a practical and inspiring book that teaches you how to do all of those things. A runaway best-seller in Europe, the book provides in-depth information about tree types, wood-stacking methods, tools, and stoves; it also examines the history of man's longstanding need for warmth and his passion for open fire.

Review of 'Norwegian wood' on 'Goodreads'

3 stelle

The hipster lumberjack lifestyle guide for aspiring wood geeks. Lovely pictures, evocative and well written. However, it's a sales pitch for a certain lifestyle and masculinity, complete with associated stove and chainsaw brands. Chopping and stacking your own wood might seem anti consumerist, but this will probably make you want to buy stuff anyway.
