National Geographic May 1978 with Robyn Davidson (TRACKS 2014) on the Cover Autographed By Robyn & Rick
signed by Rick and Robyn
SIGNED by Rick and Robyn Over the years there have been a handful of National Geographic stories that connected with not only the immediate Geographic audience but with the public at large. After the story of then 27-year-old Robyn Davidson’s epic adventure appeared in NatGeo it was subsequently featured in hundreds of other publications around the globe. And when her book TRACKS was released 4 years later it became a travel classic in the spirit of WEST WITH THE NIGHT and OUT OF AFRICA, selling over a million copies in 18 languages. Over the years Robyn’s journey has taken on a life of its own and TRACKS is now required reading in many Australian high schools. TRACKS is as much about Robyn’s internal journey as it is about the physical trek and it’s also a love story, a dog story and an epic adventure. "It seems to me," Robyn muses at one point, "the universe gave us three things to make life bearable—hope, jokes and dogs.” In the fall of 2014 the Oscar winning producers of “The Kings Speech” released TRACKS, their dramatic film about Robyn’s extraordinary 1700 mile trek. The movie became the talk of the film world, following sold our screenings at the Venice, Telluride, Toronto, London and Adelaide Film festivals. Robyn is portrayed by a young Australian actress named Mia Wasikowska, who is often described as the new Meryl Streep because of the way she completely disappears into the characters she plays (she is completely unrecognizable from role to role). She played Alice with Johnny Depp in “Alice in Wonderland”, “Stoker” with Nicole Kidman, the maid in Albert Nobbs and the daughter in “The Kids are Alright” with Annette Benning and Julia Moore. The actor playing Rick in the film is Adam Driver, another young rising star best known as Lena Durham’s heart throb boyfriend in the Showtime hit series “Girls” and soon to be the bad guy in the new Star Wars movie.
