Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Shortlisted for the Richard Jefferies Society and White Horse Book Shop Literary Prize 'This is one of those special books . . . Even if it were only a book about eels, it would be wonderful.' Sunday Times What a joy! Patrick Svenssons sinuous weaving of natural history, philosophy, psychology and autobiography is as compelling and rewarding as a silver eels return to the Sargasso Sea. I loved every moment. Isabella Tree, author of Wilding I cant recall us ever talking about anything other than eels and how to best catch them, down there by the stream. Actually, I cant remember us speaking at all. Maybe because we never did. The European eel, Anguilla anguilla, is one of the strangest creatures nature ever created. Remarkably little is known about the eel, even today. What we do know is that its born as a tiny willow-leaf shaped larva in the Sargasso Sea, travels on the ocean currents toward the coasts of Europe a journey of about four thousand miles that takes at least two years. Upon arrival, it transforms itself into a glass eel and then into a yellow eel before it wanders up into fresh water. It lives a solitary life, hiding from both light and science, for ten, twenty, fifty years, before migrating back to the sea in the autumn, morphing into a silver eel and swimming all the way back to the Sargasso Sea, where it breeds and dies. And yet . . . There is still so much we dont know about eels. No human has ever seen eels reproduce; no one can give a complete account of the eels metamorphoses or say why they are born and die in the Sargasso Sea; no human has even seen a mature eel in the Sargasso Sea. Ever. And now the eel is disappearing, and we dont know exactly why. What we do know is that eels and their mysterious lives captivate us. This is the basis for The Gospel of the Eels, Patrik Svenssons quite unique natural science memoir; his ongoing fascination with this secretive fish, but also the equally perplexing and often murky relationship he shared with his father, whose only passion in life was fishing for this obscure creature. Through the exploration of eels in literature (Gunter Grass and Graham Swift feature, amongst others) and the history of science (we learn about Aristotles and Sigmund Freuds complicated relationships with eels) as well as modern marine biology (Rachel Carson and others) we get to know this peculiar animal. In this exploration, we also learn about the human condition, life and death, through natural science and nature writing at its very best. As Patrik Svensson concludes: 'by writing about eels, I have in some ways found my way home again.'. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Libro Prima edizione
(Hardcover, 2020). (2019) 2020 1st English edition. 8vo (142 x 217mm). Ppvi,241. Bibliography. Black boards, spine titled in grey. Remainder mark to bottom edge o/w a fine unread copy in dust-wrapper. Translated from the Swedish by Agnes Broome. "Even today, in an age of advanced science, no one has ever seen eels mating or giving birth, and we still don't understand what drives them, after living for decades in fresh water, to swim great distances back to the ocean at the end of their lives." "Without a doubt, the most delicious natural history book of the decade. Svensson's prose effortlessly undulates between his own personal experience and a thousand years of scientific enquiry. But it's his call to conservation - not just of this noble eel but of our memories both personal and cultural - that truly elevates this remarkably poignant work," Mark Siddall, curator and professor, American Museum of Natural History. Chapters include: The eel; By the stream; Aristotle and the eel born of mud; Looking into the eyes of an eel; Sigmund Freud and the eels of Trieste; Illegal fishing; The Dane who found the eel's breeding ground; Swimming against the current; The people who fish for eel; Outwitting the eel; The uncanny eel; To kill an animal; Under the sea; Setting an eel trap; The long journey home; Becoming a fool; The eel on the brink of extinction; In the Sargasso Sea.

Libro
Condizione: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Una oda al mar y sus maravillas. La historia del mar es la historia de la curiosidad humana, durante siglos hemos explorado sus profundidades, pero seguimos sin descifrar todos sus misterios. Patrik Svensson entrelaza en este libro, mezcla de relato de aventuras, memorias e investigación científica, fascinantes episodios protagonizados por mujeres y hombres que consagraron su vida al mar: desde investigadores como Piccard y Walsh, que en 1960 exploraron por primera vez la fosa de las Marianas ?el punto más profundo de la superficie terrestre?, hasta Enrique, el esclavo malayo de Magallanes y seguramente la primera persona que circunnavegó el planeta, o el panadero Robert Dick, que en 1863 encontró un fósil que sería clave en la teoría de la evolución de las especies. Pero la historia del mar es también la historia de su depredación, denunciada hace décadas por la bióloga, escritora y pionera del ecologismo moderno Rachel Carson, otra de las protagonistas de este libro. Tras El evangelio de las anguilas , Patrik Svensson regresa con una obra que nos invita a contagiarnos del asombro por el mar que nos rodea y que es el origen de nuestra vida. «Pocas veces, si se ha dado nunca, he leído un relato tan conmovedor y tan potente sobre el estrecho vínculo que nos une a todos los habitantes de la Tierra. » Anna Rudberg Waltersson (Östgöta Correspondenten) «Entre la novela de aventuras y las memorias, es una completa investigación científica que cuenta la historia de las grandes cuestiones de la naturaleza marina. » Il Foglio «Un libro sobre el asombro, escrito por alguien asombrado por el mundo para los que también quieren dejarse asombrar. » Therese Boman (Expressen) *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
