Their march--over thousands of miles by foot--out of Siberia, through China, the Gobi Desert, Tibet, and over the Himalayas to British India is a remarkable statement about mans desire to be free. While the original book sold hundreds of thousands of copies, this updated paperback version includes a new Afterword by the author, as well as the authors Foreword to the Polish book. Written in a hauntingly detailed, no holds barred way, the new edition of The Long Walk is destined to outrank its classic status and guaranteed to forever stay in the readers mind. *** Six-time Academy Award–nominee Peter Weir (Master and Commander, The Truman Show, and The Dead Poets Society) recently directed The Way Back, a much-anticipated film based on The Long Walk. Starring Colin Farrell, Jim Sturgess, and Ed Harris, it is due for release in 2011.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42424699191376,"sku":"9781493022618","price":31.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781493022618_1.jpg?v=1779839194","url":"https:\/\/beaumarisbooks.com.au\/products\/long-walk-1","provider":"Beaumaris Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
