Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Far Away and Long Ago" is the autobiography of naturalist William Hudson, who spent the first eighteen years of his life on the Argentinean pampas. Hudson is revered in Argentina, where they refer to him as Guillermo Enrique Hudson and name streets and towns after him. In simple and stately prose, he writes about his boyhood as one of several sons in an English family that ran an estancia on the Pampas. Despite several failed attempts to school him, he managed to pick up one of the best educations available: by using his eyes and ears to study nature. His skill in language, which is considerable, came from reading his father's books on his own. Whether writing about ombu trees, plovers, snakes, lightning storms, rheas (Argentinian ostriches), or his neighboring ranchers, Hudson brought a whole world to life with this book. Hudson published "Far Away and Long Ago" in 1917 while he was living in England. During W. H. Hudson's time, the Argentine pampas was a land of freedom and excitement, which he describes well in this memoir. Descriptions of natural history and wildlife also abound, together with politics and interpersonal relationships of the times. You'd think Hudson's book would give insights into Hudson's childhood and life - and it does - but more importantly it recreates the history, culture and geography of Argentina in a way few travel books accomplish. "Far Away and Long Ago" is perhaps one of the greatest autobiographies ever written, a book that will, without question, withstand several readings.

Book excerpt: "The autobiography of the author of 'Green Mansions,' 'The Purple Land' and 'Adventures Among Birds' is all that one could ask it to be. For this writer's childhood and youth were spent on the pampas of South America, so colorfully painted in his later essays and stories. He writes of the varied aspects of the plain; of the romantic and picturesque figures, landowners and cattle breeders, who were neighbors; of the first visit to Buenos Ayres; of the springtime that comes in August; and, above all, of his childish love for birds. The biography carries him through first youth to the edge of manhood, but it is particularly rich in its recollection of early childhood, from the fifth to the seventh years." -Book Review Digest "Mr. Hudson's account of his early years is in many ways like a mixture of a Conrad novel and Robinson Crusoe. His small boy's eyes were the eyes of an explorer. Most books of reminiscences are for old people. This book of Mr. Hudson's is equally for the young." -Anthaneum "Seldom are youthful reminiscences recounted with greater dignity, beauty and vividness. The adventures of the spirit, too, are no less vivid than the daily life with his brothers, and the sympathy between mother and son is tenderly portrayed." -The Nation "A biography which can scarcely fail to become a classic of self-revelation. The tale is told with the art which is so much instinct that it appears mere effortless ease." -Margaret Ashmun in The Bookman "In 'Far Away and Long Ago' he has written a book that takes it place at once among the classics of autobiography." -Edwin Francis Edgett in the Boston Transcript "The book deserves a place on any shelf of biography alongside 'The Story of My Heart' by the English naturalist, Richard Jefferies." -Outlook "Mr. Hudson's method of describing his loved birds is singularly like that of Fabre with his insects. The same friendly simplicity is seen in both; Mr. Hudson, like Fabre, seems to take the reader by the hand and lead him into the midst of his discoveries." -Marguerite Fellows in the Publishers Weekly "One is reluctant to apply to Mr. Hudson's book those terms of praise which are bestowed upon literary and artistic merit, though needless to say it possesses both. One does not want to recommend it as a book so much as to greet it as a person, and not the clipped and imperfect person of ordinary autobiography, but the whole and complete person whom we meet rarely enough in life or in literature." -London Times Literary Supplement "Anybody who is not already in the middle of a book ought to lose no time in beginning on W. H. Hudson's 'Far Away and Long Ago.' Anybody who is in the middle of a book ought to let it wait until he too has read this most enticing autobiography about childhood, Argentine, ostriches, and South American cowboys." -Heywood Broun
