H for hauk

release date: Jan 01, 2016
H for hauk
Allerede som barn bestemte Helen Macdonald seg for at hun ville jobbe med rovfugler. Mange år senere blir hun fullstendig lammet av sorg etter farens dødsfall. Men hun blir også besatt av tanken på å trene sin egen hønsehauk. Hun kjøper fuglen Mabel for 800 pund i Skottland og tar henne med seg hjem til Cambridge, klar til å ta fatt på utfordringen med å trene den ville fuglen. «H for hauk» er en fortelling om Helens sorgprosess og den utfordrende oppgaven med å temme fuglen. Men det er også en historie om minner, naturen og hvordan det er mulig å forene døden med livet og kjærligheten. Boken fikk svært god mottakelse i Storbritannia da den ble utgitt i 2014. Omtalen er utarbeidet av BS.

H for høg

release date: Oct 30, 2015
H for høg
Fra hun var helt lille, vidste Helen Macdonald, at hun ville være falkoner, når hun blev stor. Hun lærte alt, hvad der var at lære om at træne falke og læste hele den klassiske litteratur om emnet – inklusiv T.H. Whites mesterværk ’Spurvehøgen’, som skildrer forfatterens kamp med at træne en høg som en åndelig kamp. Da Helen Macdonalds far pludselig dør, rammes hun af en lammende sorg. Hun bliver besat af tanken om at træne sin egen duehøg. På en øde kaj i Skotland køber hun Mabel og bringer hende med sig hjem til Cambridge. Hun fylder fryseren med mad til høgen og isolerer sig så fuldstændigt for at koncentrere sig om det tålmodighedskrævende og mærkværdige arbejde med at tæmme og træne et vildt dyr. H for høg er både en fascinerende beskrivelse af relationen mellem menneske og vildt dyr og en hudløst ærlig skildring af sorg. Macdonald bevæger sig ad kringlede omveje rundt omkring hele spektret fra depression, forholdet mellem menneske og natur, død og grusomhed som en uadskillelig del af tilværelsen og til ensomheden som et grundvilkår, ingen undslipper.

De H is van Havik

release date: Sep 11, 2015
De H is van Havik
Helen Macdonald, een ervaren valkenier, had nooit de behoefte een van de allerfelste roofvogels af te richten: de havik. Maar dan sterft plotseling haar vader, de bekende fotograaf en valkenier Alisdair Macdonald, in Londen, midden op straat. Overweldigd door rouw en verdriet besluit Helen een havik te nemen om haar verlies te verwerken. Door het vurige dier te temmen verkent ze haar grenzen en verandert haar leven voorgoed. In De H is van havik beschrijft Helen Macdonald hoe ze haar havik, Mabel, stapje voor stapje tam maakt. Het is een roerend en humoristisch relaas over rouwverwerking en de aantrekkingskracht van een buitengewoon beest. Macdonald betreedt onontgonnen gebied met dit hartveroverende boek dat tegelijkertijd een memoir, een boek over de natuur en een spirituele queeste is, en waarin ze onderzoekt of de dood zich laat verzoenen met het leven en de liefde.

Falcon

release date: Mar 15, 2006
Falcon
A sacred god, a military tool, an erotic symbol: the falcon is a natural wonder of speed, power, beauty, and ferocity that has become embedded in human cultures in myriad ways. Helen Macdonald''s Falcon examines the diverse symbolism and roles attached to the falcon throughout the centuries. Macdonald presents a cultural and natural history of the falcon that spans the globe and several millennia. Her wide-ranging survey considers the many facets of the falcon, including conservation efforts; the sport of falconry; and the use of falcons in secret military projects by the Third Reich and the U.S. space program. Falcon also explores the rich imagery of the falcon over history, including the veneration of falcons as gods in ancient Egypt, their role in erotic stories, and even the use of falcons in advertising to promote photocopiers and jet planes. Filled with illustrations and a wealth of fascinating facts, Falcon will be an enjoyable guide for ornithologists, amateur birdwatchers, and nature lovers alike.
