Adventure writer Sylvain Tesson (b. 1972) rarely spends time in his Paris apartment. He prefers to travel: walking from Siberia to India, wintering in a wooden cabin on Lake Baikal, or traveling to Tibet in search of snow leopards. This time, Tesson's attention was captured by sea stacks, once separated from the shore—stacks. Together with the renowned mountaineer Daniel Dulac, he climbed 106 such pillars around the world and saw in them a symbol of solitude, both voluntary and forced, and of freedom—primarily, inner freedom. Why do people brave long and dangerous climbs to the summits of lonely sea obelisks? What is the philosophy of "stackism"? Which thinker and writer of the past fits the title of "stack man": Nietzsche, Solzhenitsyn, or Kafka?
