Davis's passion for the well-being of the remaining wild places, especially the forests, of the earth is evident (understatement). I've had this on my shelf for far too long because while there are moments when the reader can marvel, there are far more where one cringes at the wasteful folly of humankind. The kernel essay for Wade's extraordinary book on Mallory and the attempts in the early 1920's to climb Everest, [Into the Silence] (surely a masterpiece of the adventure genre) is here, and tales of time spent in Amazon rain forests, the northwestern rainforest of North American and many others. Wade also waxes eloquent about the research aspects of these places and the practices and wisdom of shamans whose approach, combining the physical and spiritual (or if you prefer, body and mind) helps countless millions in real and often very practical ways. It's a tough read, but a rewarding one. **** ( ) Zeige 2 von 2
Davis is a sojourner in remote places. He tarries, hoping to get a taste of the intimate, deep reverence for the home place that indigenous people experience by staying put, to sample some of the mythopoetic associations and enigmatic happenings that spring like gifts from the land for those who sit still long enough to witness....Davis’s lovely, cubist, rich landscape portraits are also topographies of the spirit, conveying a sense of place, but perhaps even more, the music of place.

Ranging from the British Columbian wilderness to the jungles of the Amazon and the polar ice of the Arctic Circle, Shadows in the Sun is a testament to a world where spirits still stalk the land and seize the human heart. Its essays and stories, though distilled from travels in widely separated parts of the world, are fundamentally about landscape and character, the wisdom of lives drawn directly from the land, the hunger of those who seek to rediscover such understanding, and the consequences of failure.
