Rezensionen

This book of essays by a noted Naturalist didn't thrill me, but I did read it through and found some interest in his descriptives of the sound of bird song. It contains a set of questions for the teacher to use plus some reprints of several poems mentioned in the essays. It also lists, in the back, the selection of titles of the Kings Treasuries of Literature (from series number 39 to 115).

Short Victorian utopian novel (so much more engaging than William Morris' New From Nowhere), with elements of Alice in Wonderland ("Drink Me"). Although very little happens in the story (a stranger wakes in a strange land, is taken in by a large family, falls in love, and learns their unusual customs, through trial and error, before settling into learning mostly from observation). The thing that make the story good are the contemplative paragraphs, especially towards the end of the novel. I found it amusing that protagonist admitted he never liked reading; and his musings on melancholy rang so true as to make one wonder how much of the author's own experiences were being described. I loved the descriptions of the architecture and decorations of the house; his references to art (Guide), music (popular music of the author's time; older classical music, and the invented tunes in the story), famous authors, mythology, and poetry (Tennyson). Of course Hudson also describes the wildlife, and indeed his monologue with the dog, contemplating his situation at the end of the book, summarises the differences between our world and the one he has found himself in, asking which is better? It was Margaret Atwood who introduced me to this story, and I can see why it has fallen by the way-side against the more well known utopian novels; but like More's utopia, it contained a very refreshing look at women's role in society.… (mehr)

Los abuelos de Hudson eran ingleses; sus padres, americanos, se casaron en Boston y en 1833 emigraron a la Argentina. Se instalaron en “Los veinticinco ombúes”, donde criaron ganado vacuno y lanar. Allí nació el 4 de agosto de 1841, William Henry Hudson.
Se enamoró del paisaje y lo recorrió sin parar. Le gustaba cabalgar, observar los árboles y los pájaros. Exploró ese paisaje pampeano soñando con el campo inglés. Joven, visitó nuestro país, al que guardo en su corazón y describió en la antes mencionada novela.
Tras la muerte de sus padres, en 1874, se marchó; no volvió más. En Londres se casó con Emily Wingrave, dueña de la pensión donde vivía, de quien cuentan que cantaba con bella voz.Sus famosas memorias, aparecieron en 1918. Se trata de un clásico libro, que se ha reeditado, varias veces, llamado Far Away and Long Ago-A History of My Early Life, conocido en estas tierras como ALLÁ LEJOS Y HACE TIEMPO.
Es un libro de evocaciones, muy bien redactado, que invita a adentrarte en el paisaje y soñar junto con el autor. Hudson murió en Inglaterra, en 1922, a los 81 años. Su epitafio, reza: “Amó los pájaros y los lugares verdes y el viento en el brezal, y vio el resplandor de la aureola de Dios”.

A unique memoir of youth on the pampas. Hudson's gift for deep appreciation of wildlife is a unique record in English. Now the wild Argentina that he reveals is definitely far away and disappeared.
