Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

336 pages. Immersive, evocative and powerful,Common Groundis a unique evocation of h ow, over the course of one year, Rob Cowen discovered a common -- though extraor dinary -- square mile of wood, meadow, hedge and river on the edge of his northe rn town.'I am dreaming of the edge-land again.' After moving from London to a new home in Yorkshire, Rob Cowen finds himself on unfamiliar territory, disoriented, hemmed in by winter and yearning for the near est open space. So one night, he sets out to find it -- a pylon-slung edge-land, a tangle of wood, meadow, field and river on the outskirts of town. Despite bei ng in the shadow of thousands of houses, it feels unclaimed, forgotten, caught b etween worlds, and all the more magical for it. Obsessively revisi ting this contested ground, Cowen ventures deeper into its many layers and lives , documenting its changes through time and season and unearthing histories that profoundly resonate and intertwine with transformative events happening in his o wn life. Blurring the boundaries of memoir, natural history and no vel,Common Groundoffers nothing less than an enthralling new way of writing about nature and our experiences within it. We encounter the edge-land's inhabit ants in immersive, kaleidoscopic detail as their voices and visions rise from th e fields and woods: beasts, birds, insects, plants and people -- the beggars, sa ges and lovers across the ages. Startlingly personal and poetic, t his is a unique portrait of a forgotten realm and a remarkable evocation of how, over the course of a year, a man came to know himself once more by unlocking it . But, above all, this is a book that reasserts a vital truth: nature isn't just.…
