Synopsis
In Vesper Flights, Helen Macdonald brings together a collection of her best loved essays, along with new pieces on topics ranging from nostalgia for a vanishing countryside to the tribulations of farming ostriches to her own private vespers while trying to fall asleep. Meditating on notions of captivity and freedom, immigration and flight, Helen invites us into her most intimate experiences. She writes with heart-tugging clarity about wild boar, swifts, mushroom hunting, migraines, the strangeness of birds’ nests, and the unexpected guidance and comfort we find when watching wildlife.
Un libro luminoso y cautivador sobre nuestra relación con la naturaleza y sobre lo que la fauna y la flora pueden enseñarnos. La autora combina con maestría la mirada científica y la literaria, reflexiona sobre temas ecológicos y humanos –el amor, el dolor, la superación de la pérdida, la búsqueda de la belleza–, evoca vivencias y nos habla sin tópicos del fascinante mundo de la fauna y la flora. Un libro luminoso y cautivador.
