The Peregrine

The Peregrine pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025

John A. Baker lives with his wife in Essex. He has had assorted jobs, including chopping down trees and pushing book trolleys in the British Museum. In 1965 he gave up work and lived on the money he had saved, devoting all his time to his obsession - the peregrine. He re-wrote his account of this bird five times before submitting it for publication. Although he had no ornithological training and had never written a book before, when The Peregrine was published in 1967 it was received with enthusiastic reviews and praise for his lyrical prose. Later that year he was awarded the distinguished Duff Cooper prize. He was also awarded a substantial Arts Council grant. His second book, The Hill of Summer, was published in 1969 and was also received with unanimous praise by the critics.

From fall to spring, J.A. Baker set out to track the daily comings and goings of a pair of peregrine falcons across the flat fen lands of eastern England. He followed the birds obsessively, observing them in the air and on the ground, in pursuit of their prey, making a kill, eating, and at rest, activities he describes with an extraordinary fusion of precision and poetry. And as he continued his mysterious private quest, his sense of human self slowly dissolved, to be replaced with the alien and implacable consciousness of a hawk.

It is this extraordinary metamorphosis, magical and terrifying, that these beautifully written pages record.

2018年暑假第一本书,从开始翻开第一页到最后,前前后后用了十天左右,算是好多年以来看的最慢的一本书了,但它在我心里却值得一切时间。值得一个个缓慢咀嚼,漫长翻页的闲散午后;值得一个个抑郁沮丧,艰难挣扎的苦逼时刻;也值得我浪费每一个阳光明媚或是暴雨倾注的日子。 初...

J.A.贝克的《游隼》被归类为自然文学,但读过就知道它不止于此。自然辽阔,万物有灵有时是人尽皆知的秘密,时常被忽略。忠实的陪伴与分担者,将眼光黏附在高贵的飞行的灵魂之上,用时间和文字去描述那些城市里看不到的细节。 对读者来说,他那些克制、欲言又止的寂静叙述,不仅...

距离译稿完成已经有一段时间了,但当我坐下来写这篇译后记时,一些画面仍不断重现⋯⋯一个男人,站在高高的海堤上,群鸟纷飞,在他脸上投下瀑布般的倒影。北海辽阔无边际。那个人走在旷野,那个人等在河谷,那个人躲避着农场上充满敌意的眼睛,缓慢,安静,没什么表情,忽...

本以為能看到作者“乘天地之正,禦六氣之辯,以遊無窮”般的開闊,可惜隻看到瞭一個孤寂受睏的靈魂。

英文看得還蠻吃力的,關鍵其實蠻枯燥的,十年如一日觀察同一種鳥。適閤鳥類愛好者。中譯本好評如潮是因為翻譯好,有詩意的享受。但英文隻有偶爾的迷離、與隼的對峙比較有意思,絕大部分都隻是語言科學般的精確。對瞭,對照鳥書的英文索引看還不錯,遊隼獵物一覽!哈哈哈。
