What happens when we follow the call of the wild – alone?
In this rare meeting of two extraordinary voices, join Adam Weymouth (Lone Wolf, Kings of the Yukon) and Sophy Roberts (The Lost Pianos of Siberia, The Training School for Elephants) – two of the most original, courageous and poetic travel writers working today.
Weymouth’s deeply reported narratives explore human and ecological fault lines with empathy and urgency. Roberts journeys to the furthest flung places on Earth – Siberia, the Congo, the Burmese jungle – in search of lost music, vanishing stories and the fragile beauty of wild places. Both are masters of immersive, literary non-fiction: driven by curiosity, guided by instinct, and unafraid to go where the road disappears.
Together, they’ll explore what it means to travel slowly and attentively, to write with truth and grace, and to surrender to solitude, risk and awe. This is not your typical travel talk – it’s a conversation about the wildness within us, and the stories the world whispers when we’re finally still enough to listen.
Whether you're a devoted reader, a secret adventurer, or simply someone who longs to disappear into a beautiful book – don’t miss this chance to hear from two of the most singular, spellbinding voices in contemporary writing.
