Über diesen Titel

Brought to you by Penguin.

This is wintering. It is the courage to stare down the worst parts of our experience and commit to healing them the best we can.

Wintering is a poignant and comforting meditation on the fallow periods of life, times when we must retreat to care for and repair ourselves. Katherine May thoughtfully shows us how to come through these times with the wisdom of knowing that, like the seasons, our winters and summers are the ebb and flow of life.

A moving personal narrative interwoven with lessons from literature, mythology and the natural world, May's story offers instruction on the transformative power of rest and retreat. Illumination emerges from many sources: solstice celebrations and dormice hibernation, C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath, swimming in icy waters and sailing arctic seas.

Ultimately, Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times. May models an active acceptance of sadness and finds nourishment in deep retreat, joy in the hushed beauty of winter, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical, not linear. A secular mystic, May forms a guiding philosophy for transforming the hardships that arise before the ushering in of a new season.

Kritikerstimmen

A beautiful, gentle exploration of the dark season of life and the light of spring that eventually follows (Raynor Winn, bestselling author of The Salt Path)
A book for the soul (Caitlin Moran)
Katherine May thoughtfully examines the emotional, spiritual, and geographical reality of the cold times, the dark days, and those periods of our lives when things are neither soft nor easy. In so doing, she offers a great and humane service to her readers: she shows us that wintering cannot be avoided, but need not be feared.
Wise, radical and comforting. It's a refreshing, original way of looking at winter, both the season and the winterings that happen in all of our lives. A thought-provoking joy to read. (Lucy Jones, author of Losing Eden)
We all experience periods of 'wintering' in our lives and this book shows us how to embrace the uncertainty that can come with it. A beautiful book that can be enjoyed in both winter and summer (Lara Maiklem, author of Mudlarking)
An elegant investigation into the consolations of nature and how it can be wonderfully restorative even on the bleakest of days
[A] sympathetic memoir ... May recounts how she attempted to embrace rather than resist the gloom and chill of winter ... she radiates sincerity and quiet self-knowledge
In this elegant memoir Katherine May finds beauty and transformation in a difficult period of her life ... an evocative ode to retreat that will appeal to fans of Deborah Levy's The Cost of Living
Wintering is the book equivalent of a perfectly timed hug you didn't know you needed, a warm blanket on a cold day ... it's exactly what the world needs right now (Nora McInerny, host of Terrible, Thanks for Asking)
A beautifully written mix of memoir and philosophy ... May offers much needed solace and comfort and a reminder that seasons eventually turn

It was pure comfort to listen to this story, especially during winter time. Blissful hours

Amazing

I loved the voice. Also the different stories about wintering- the self questioning and being aware of the inner conflict- I felt very seen and could connect very much because of the intimate jet direkt telling.
I gonna hear it again for sure. I think I learned something from this one.

Very interesting and soothing

The book reflects one woman’s journey through periods of depression, grief, change and illness.

She takes the listener along through her experience and rather than giving structured advice , the author gives impulses from both her own life, society and the animal kingdom of ways that may help others prepare for and live through their own periods of “winter”.

In short: this isn’t a self-help book - but if you enjoy wading through abstract ideas that may connect to your own experience, then you may enjoy joining the author in her pondering the meaning of winter (both literal and symbolic).

Not a self-help book

I really enjoyed it. It found me in the right moment of my life. It carries a lot of wisdom and instills peace and acceptance in our relation to change. I will be going back to it.
Narration by Rebecca Lee is really great and her voice is one of the reasons I could not stop listening to it.

Want to listen to it again

Ich hatte das Buch bereits in der deutschen Übersetzung gelesen, aber das englische Original hat doch nochmal eine ganz andere Qualität und Tiefe, nicht zuletzt dank der wunderbaren Sprecherin. Für mich das erste Audio-Buch das ich wirklich zu 100% genossen habe, statt mich streckenweise durch das Hörerlebnis zu quälen.

Wunderbares Buch, toll gesprochen
