Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

An imposing, life-size oil painting dominates the main meeting room at the RSPBs base in the heart of England: the man above the fireplace always present, rarely mentioned. Curious about the person in the portrait, the author began a quest to rediscover William Henry Hudson (18411922). It became a mission of restoration: stitching back together the faded tapestry of Hudsons life, re-colouring it in places and adding new threads from the testaments of his closest friends. This book traces the unassuming field naturalists path through a dramatic and turbulent era: from Hudsons journey to Britain from Argentina in 1874 to the unveiling by the prime minister of a monument and bird sanctuary in his honour 50 years later, in the heart of Hyde Park a place where the young immigrant had, for a time, slept rough. At its core, this extraordinary story reveals Hudsons deep influence on the creation of his beloved Bird Society by its founding women, and the rise of the conservation movement. It reveals the strange magnetism of this mysterious man from the Pampas unschooled, battle-scarred and once penniless that made his achievements possible, and left such a profound impression on those who knew him. By the end of his life, Hudson had Hollywood studios bidding for his work. He was a household name through his luminous and seminal nature writing, and the Bird Society had at last reached the climax of a 30-year campaign, working to create the first global alliance of bird protectionists. A century after Hudsons death, this is a long-overdue tribute to perhaps our most significant and most neglected writer-naturalist and wildlife campaigner. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
