Best Selling Books by Helen Macdonald

Essaybundel van de auteur van ''H is voor Havik'' In Schemervluchten zijn Helen Macdonalds mooiste natuuressays bijeengebracht, over onder meer heimwee naar het oude platteland, zwanen vangen, paddenstoelen plukken, knokkende hazen en zonsverduisteringen. Haar essays zijn kalme overpeinzingen over gevangenschap, vrijheid en vluchten. Macdonald neemt de lezer mee op een persoonlijke reis: ze observeert de massale trek van zangvogels vanaf de top van het Empire State Building, ziet tienduizenden kraanvogels op hun vlucht boven Hongarije en gaat op zoek naar de laatste wielewaal in Suffolk. Subtiel laat ze zien dat we van de natuur kunnen leren en er troost uit kunnen putten. Schemervluchten is een aangrijpend en diepzinnig boek van een van de beste natuurschrijvers van deze tijd.

When Helen Macdonald''s father died suddenly on a London street, she was devastated. An experienced falconer captivated by hawks since childhood, she''d never before been tempted to train one of the most vicious predators: the goshawk. But in her grief, she saw that the goshawk''s fierce and feral anger mirrored her own. Resolving to purchase and raise the deadly creature as a means to cope with her loss, she adopted Mabel and turned to the guidance of The Once and Future King author T. H. White''s chronicle The Goshawk to begin her journey into Mabel''s world. Projecting herself ''''in the hawk''s wild mind to tame her'''' tested the limits of Macdonald''s humanity.

Helen e Mabel. Una donna ferita e un rapace sanguinario. Un incontro impossibile, eppure vero fino in fondo, fatto di dolore, tenerezza e autentica, ritrovata felicità. Un''indimenticabile storia d''amore.

The hawk was everything I wanted to be- solitary, self-possessed, free from grief, and numb to the hurts of human life. How do we carry on when someone close to us dies? Is it simply a case of putting one foot in front of the other in a bleak new world or do we need something more? Reeling with grief after the sudden death of her father, Helen Macdonald found herself turning to the wild for comfort. With breathtaking honesty and insight, she recounts her months spent taming a goshawk and how, finally, this strange kinship led her to the first tentative steps to recovery.

Elle va se procurer un rapace de huit semaines, le plus sauvage de son espèce, Mabel. Réputé impossible à apprivoiser. Elle va s''isoler du monde, de la ville, des hommes. Et emprunter un chemin étonnant. « Des clairières. Voilà ce qu''il me fallait. Peu à peu, mon cerveau retrouvait ses points de repère et reprenait possession d''espaces inutilisés depuis des mois. Je passais ma vie depuis si longtemps dans des bibliothèques et des salles des professeurs, à fixer des écrans d''ordinateurs, à corriger des essais et à traquer des références universitaires. Ceci était une tout autre chasse. Ici, j''étais un tout autre animal. »
