Produktbeschreibung
W. H. Hudson first released his love story "Green Mansions". The protagonists of this story, which is set in the Venezuelan jungle, are Abel, a young guy who runs away to the forest to escape his horrific past, and Rima, a mysterious young woman who lives in the bush and is known to have magical abilities. Abel is so taken with Rima that he resolves to find out more about her. He discovers that she was born of a bird-like creature and was nurtured in the forest, among the animals and plants that she loves. The love between Rima and Abel is complicated by Rima's partial humanity and their disparate social and cultural backgrounds. As they go further into the forest, Abel and Rima face several perils, including hostile tribes and frightening animals. They also get a deeper understanding of one another and the significance of love and sacrifice. The narrative finally takes a catastrophic turn when Abel is forced to choose between his love for Rima and his duty to the outside world. A wonderfully written novel, "Green Mansions" skillfully weaves together literature about romance, adventure, and the environment. It has received accolades for its moving representations of the Venezuelan jungle and the way it shows how humans and nature interact.
Autorenporträt
W. H. Hudson was a British biologist, ornithologist, and author who lived from 1841 to 1922. Hudson, who was born in Argentina to British parents, spent a large portion of his youth travelling and learning about the flora and animals of South America. In his early twenties, he came to England and took a job as a clerk. Despite this, he continued to write about nature and in 1892, "The Naturalist in La Plata," his first book, was published. After that, Hudson published numerous other books about the natural environment, including "British Birds" and "Idle Days in Patagonia." He is most well-known, however, for his books, including "Green Mansions" and "The Purple Land," which merged his love of the outdoors with his prowess as a writer. The grandeur and mystique of the wilderness were beautifully and evocatively captured in Hudson's writing, which was praised for its in-depth and evocative depictions of the natural environment. He was also a forerunner in the conservation movement and a proponent of preserving endangered species' habitats. Despite his contributions to literature and conservation, Hudson experienced sorrow and hardship in his personal life. He struggled with depression, had money problems, and sadly lost his wife and two children. Nevertheless, readers and admirers of literature and the outdoors continue to read and appreciate his writing.
