Read by Reece Davis

Beyond the noise of modern travel lies a world that moves to a slower rhythm - a world still ruled by silence, patience, and grace. In Among the Quiet Lands, acclaimed travel writer Reece Davis journeys to the planet's most remote and unhurried places - from wind-battered monasteries in the Himalayas to forgotten villages deep within Patagonia's valleys. Along the way, he meets those who have chosen to live close to the earth and far from the rush of progress. Through poetic observation and vivid encounters, Davis reflects on what vanishes when the world moves too fast - and what we rediscover when we choose to linger, listen, and simply be. A meditation on solitude, slowness, and the enduring beauty of the unspoiled, Among the Quiet Lands invites readers to pause - and to see stillness not as absence, but as presence
