Totem Pole

Year: 2000 Pages: 182 A young British climber with an extraordinary talent for writing wins a literary prize and a nice sum that allows him to realize an old dream of his: traveling and climbing on the other side of the world. On the Totem Pole, in Tasmania, a boulder falls on his head. He falls from the wall, is saved by a miracle and wakes up in the hospital with half his body paralyzed, without the use of speech and unable to connect simple concepts to each other. In Totem Pole Pritchard recounts this episode and how he emerged from it in a short time with great efforts and unyielding determination. A book that leaves you breathless and gives anyone who reads it a new faith in human possibilities.
