Under Manhattan

Polar explorer, author and philosopher Erling Kagge was the first person ever to walk alone to the South Pole and to surmount the ‘three poles’: North, South and the summit of Mount Everest. Now he explores New York like never before—underground. Along with Steve Duncan, he descends into the network of sewers, subways and water tunnels that the city has to offer. They walk from the Bronx via Manhattan to the Atlantic Ocean. Through photos, philosophical reflections and accounts of their journey, a world opens up that has never been explored before.

A Sleepless Summer

The seasons come and go in provincial Blaashoek, where the town’s superficial harmony is upended by the arrival of a wind park—a blessing for some, a curse for others. The irritating hum of the turbines keeps butcher Herman Bracke, known far and wide for his delicious ‘summer paté’, awake at night. He falls prey to a deadly fatigue and gradually loses control over his work, setting off a series of blood-curdling events, with fatal consequences for the townspeople. Life in Blaashoek will never be the same again.
