Book excerpt: This novel of a man’s yearning for an ethereal woman of the forest is “an unforgettable depiction of love and suffering, remorse and transcendence” (Michael Dirda, The Washington Post). This Edwardian-era “masterpiece” (The New York Times), lavishly illustrated with sixty drawings by Keith Henderson, sparked the nature conservation movement and inspired the film of the same name starring Audrey Hepburn. Green Mansions stunningly recreates the untouched forests of South America with amazing detail. After a failed revolution, Abel is forced to seek refuge in the virgin forests of southwestern Venezuela. There, in his “green mansion,” Abel meets the wood-nymph Rima, the last of a reclusive indigenous people. The bird-girl’s ethereal presence captivates him completely, but the love that blossoms is soon darkened by cruelty and sorrow. Exploring a love somewhere between reality and imagination, Green Mansions is a poignant meditation on the loss of wilderness, the dream of a return to nature, and the relationship between savagery and civilization. A master of natural history writing, W.H. Hudson forms a link between nineteenth-century Romanticism and the twentieth-century ecological movement in a tale pervaded by mysticism—a novel as powerful today as it was over a century ago.

Download or read book Living in the Sound of the Wind written by Jason Wilson and published by Constable. This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: W. H. Hudson was brought up on the pampas, where he learnt from gauchos about frontier life. After moving to London in 1874, Hudson lived in extreme poverty. Like his friend Joseph Conrad, Hudson was an exile, adapting to England. He never returned to Argentina. Wilson unravels Hudson’s English dream, his natural history rambles, and his work to protect birds. He remains both a complex witness to his homeland before mass immigration and to his England of the mind, before the urban sprawl. Praise for Jason Wilson: Tireless, shrewd, erudite Jason Wilson, mixing hard fact and anthology, provides the perfect outfit of allusion and comparative experience - Jonathan Keates, Observer Put his treasure trove into your pocket. - Anthony Sattin, Sunday Times The idea is so simple that it must be original. This inaugural book might prove to be a landmark. - Nicholas Shakespeare, Daily Telegraph
