John D. Clare

    John Clare, once known as the "Northamptonshire Peasant Poet," is now recognized as one of the most significant poets of the 19th century following a major re-evaluation of his work. His poetry is deeply rooted in keen observations of the natural world and the intimate details of rural life. Clare's distinctive voice captures the beauty and complexity of his surroundings with remarkable clarity and sensitivity. His enduring legacy lies in his authentic portrayal of the English landscape and the inner life of the individual.

    • Ta książka jest niewątpliwie jednym z arcydzieł dwudziestowiecznej prozy. Ma styl tak intensywny i czarodziejski, że obserwacja ptaków staje się uświeconym rytuałem. [] Kiedy ją przeczytasz, już nigdy nie wypuści cię ze swego uścisku. Robert Macfarlane Przesycona namiętną gwałtownością, a przy tym cudownie czuła. Andrew Motion Przepiękne kompendium lirycznego pisarstwa przyrodniczego w najlepszym wydaniu. Guardian Inspiracja dla przyszłych pisarzy i dar dla miłośników natury. Times Literary Supplement Arcydzieło literackie! Independent Rzadka, nadzwyczajna książka jego frazy mają intensywność rozbłysku magnezji. Observer Jedna z najlepszych książek przyrodniczych, jakie kiedykolwiek powstały. BBC Wildlife Sokół jest niemal transsubstancjacją, w religijnym znaczeniu, gdzie obserwator niemalże staje się obserwowanym obiektem: sokołem. Ta książka jest na liście lektur obowiązkowych w mojej szkole filmowej. Werner Herzog John Alec Baker urodził się w 1926 roku i spędził życie w Chelmsford w hrabstwie Essex. Jego książki zrodziły się z obserwacji ptaków zamieszkujących wiejskie tereny Essex, zwłaszcza okolice Chelmsfordu i wybrzeża. Najsłynniejszą z nich, pozycją, która odmieniła sposób pisania i myslenia o ptakach i przyrodzie jest Sokół. Baker zmarł w 1986 roku.
