Sinossi
*Pubblicato per la prima volta come The Mara Crossing, ora con materiale nuovo e aggiornato* "Un prodigio, un libro di meraviglie. Meraviglia, pietà e terrore, la sezione bruciante di voci in transito che costringono alla compassione e, oltre a ciò, all'empatia" Independent Home è il punto di partenza, ma dov'è la vera casa di una rondine? E cosa significa "nativo" se la quercia inglese è un'immigrata dalla Spagna? In novanta poesie riccamente variegate e illuminanti intermezzi in prosa, Ruth Padel intreccia scienza, mito, natura selvaggia e storia umana per evocare un mondo creato e sostenuto dalla migrazione, dai viaggi millenari di cellule, alberi, uccelli e bestie alle oche che combattono i venti impetuosi sul monte Everest, ai lemuri che sfiorano i precipizi in Madagascar e agli gnu, al culmine del loro epico viaggio dalla Tanzania, che sfidano un fiume pieno dei più grandi coccodrilli dell'Africa. La migrazione umana ha plasmato la civiltà, ma oggi è una delle più grandi sfide che il mondo deve affrontare. In una serie di ritratti incisivi, Padel si concentra sulle difficoltà degli spostamenti umani - la fuga in Egitto, John James Audubon che emigra in America (nutrendo gli uccelli migratori durante il tragitto), i lavoratori migranti a Mumbai e i rifugiati che faticano in un pianeta in drastico cambiamento - per mostrare come lo scopo della migrazione, sia per gli esseri umani che per gli animali, sia la sopravvivenza.

Paperback. Condizione: New. *First published as The Mara Crossing, now with new and updated material*'A prodigy, a book of wonders. Wonder, pity and terror, the searing section of voices in transit coercing compassion - and beyond that, empathy' IndependentHome is where you start from, but where is a swallow's real home? And what does 'native' mean if the English oak is an immigrant from Spain?In ninety richly varied poems and illuminating prose interludes, Ruth Padel weaves science, myth, wild nature and human history to conjure a world created and sustained by migration - from the millennia-old journeys of cells, trees, birds and beasts to Geese battle raging winds over Mount Everest, lemurs skim precipices in Madagascar and wildebeest, at the climax of their epic trek from Tanzania, braving a river filled with the largest crocodiles in Africa. Human migration has shaped civilisation but today is one of the greatest challenges the world faces. In a series of incisive portraits, Padel turns to the struggles of human displacement - the Flight into Egypt, John James Audubon emigrating to America (feeding migrant birds en route), migrant workers in Mumbai and refugees labouring over a drastically changing planet - to show how the purpose of migration, for both humans and animals, is survival.
