Editorial Review Book Description A master of natural history writing, W. H. Hudson forms an importantlink between nineteenth-century Romanticism and the twentieth-centuryecological movement. First published in 1904 and still a best-seller afterits reissue a dozen years later, the book owes much of its popularity tothe mystic, near-religious feeling that pervades the story and to thebeauty of Rima's halting, poetic expressions. Exploring a love somewherebetween reality and imagination, Green Mansions offers its readers apoignant meditation on the loss of wilderness, the dream of a return tonature, and the bitter reality of the encounter between savage andcivilized man. |

Childhood in the Pampas
Simple pleasures are the best The author says it all. I picked up this book in a little Gloucester bookshop a few years ago, but I've finally just had a chance to read it in its entirety. What a Joy! It reminded me that the stresses and travails we encounter in our daily lives are so trivial at best, compared to the world we pass by everyday. The author's recollection of his boyhood on the Argentinian pampas and his adventures with snakes and birds and vizcachas made his words come alive, and I felt I was there with him. A treasure and one I would read to kids who have the gift of spirit in them, and to remind them that all of what he wrote is disappearing.
A neglected masterpiece |
