In these evocative and elegiac writings L. T. C. Rolt meditates on landscape, history, poetry, steam railways, vintage cars and the endless summer days of his childhood. He also recalls his many happy boating voyages on Britain's canals: the peace and tranquillity, the wildlife and people, the changing scenery as he travelled from county to county, and the role he played in preserving the waterways for future generations.
Generations of inhabitants have helped shape the English countryside - but it has profoundly shaped us too.It has provoked a huge variety of responses from artists, writers, musicians and people who live and work on the land - as well as those who are travelling through it.English Journeys celebrates this long tradition with a series of twenty books on all aspects of the countryside, from stargazey pie and country churches, to man's relationship with nature and songs celebrating the patterns of the countryside (as well as ghosts and love-struck soldiers).

Condizione: Good. : En estos evocadores y elegíacos escritos, L.T.C. Rolt reflexiona sobre el paisaje, la historia, la poesía, los ferrocarriles de vapor, los coches antiguos y los interminables días de verano de su infancia. También recuerda sus felices viajes en barco por los canales de Gran Bretaña: la paz y la tranquilidad, la vida salvaje y la gente, los paisajes cambiantes mientras viajaba de un condado a otro, y el papel que desempeñó en la preservación de las vías fluviales para las generaciones futuras. Generaciones de habitantes han ayudado a dar forma a la campiña inglesa, pero también nos ha moldeado profundamente a nosotros. Ha provocado una gran variedad de respuestas de artistas, escritores, músicos y personas que viven y trabajan en la tierra, así como de quienes viajan a través de ella. "English Journeys" celebra esta larga tradición con una serie de veinte libros sobre todos los aspectos de la campiña, desde el pastel de stargazey y las iglesias rurales hasta la relación del hombre con la naturaleza y las canciones que celebran los patrones de la campiña (así como fantasmas y soldados enamorados).
