Lädt ... Sightlines (2012)von Kathleen Jamie
   Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   ) Grace.Van.Moer | Dec 1, 2021 |  ) Ma_Washigeri | Jan 23, 2021 | As with all books that are written by poets, this is a delight to read. The language is eloquent and lyrical, without being pretentious. She takes us, through a series of essays, on a journey to places in the far north of the UK and Scandinavia. To islands and museums and more importantly to the part of the mind that communicates with nature. Well worth reading.

Auszeichnungen
Winner of the 2014 Orion Book Award for Nonfiction Winner of the John Burroughs Association 2014 Medal for Distinguished Natural History Book In Sightlines, Kathleen Jamie reports from the field--from her native Scottish "byways and hills" to the frigid Arctic in fourteen enthralling essays. She dissects whatever her gaze falls upon--vistas of cells beneath a hospital microscope, orcas rounding a headland, the aurora borealis lighting up the frozen sea. In so doing, she questions what, exactly, constitutes "nature," and upends the idea that it is always picturesque. Written with precision, subtlety, and wry humor, Sightlines urges the reader: "Keep looking, even when there's nothing much to see." Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
