This book was released on 2017-04-30 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: W.H. Hudson, in full William Henry Hudson (born August 4, 1841, near Buenos Aires, Argentina-died August 18, 1922, London, England), British author, naturalist, and ornithologist, best known for his exotic romances, especially Green Mansions. Hudson's parents were originally New Englanders who took up sheep farming in Argentina. He spent his childhood-lovingly recalled in Far Away and Long Ago (1918)-freely roaming the pampas, studying the plant and animal life, and observing both natural and human dramas on what was then a lawless frontier. After an illness at 15 permanently affected his health, he became introspective and studious; his reading of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species, which confirmed his own observations of nature, had a particularly strong impact. After his parents' death, he led a wandering life. Little is known of this period or of his early years in England, where he settled in 1869 (and was naturalized in 1900). Poverty and ill-health may have occasioned his marriage in 1876 to a woman much older than himself. He and his wife lived precariously on the proceeds of two boardinghouses, until she inherited a house in the Bayswater section of London, where Hudson spent the rest of his life. His early books, romances with a South American setting, are weak in characterization but imbued with a brooding sense of nature's power. Although Hudson's reputation now rests chiefly on these novels, when published they attracted little attention. The first, The Purple Land that England Lost, 2 vol. (1885), was followed by several long short stories, collected in 1902 as El Omb�. His last romance, Green Mansions (1904), is the strange love story of Rima, a mysterious creature of the forest, half bird and half human. Rima, the best known of Hudson's characters, is the subject of the statue by Jacob Epstein in the bird sanctuary erected in Hudson's memory in Hyde Park, London, in 1925. The romances secured Hudson the friendship of many English men of letters, among them Joseph Conrad, Ford Madox Ford, Edward Garnett, and George Gissing. His books on ornithological studies (Argentine Ornithology, 1888-89; British Birds, 1895; etc.) brought recognition from the statesman Sir Edward Grey, who procured him a state pension in 1901. He finally achieved fame with his books on the English countryside-Afoot in England (1909), A Shepherd's Life (1910), Dead Man's Plack (1920), A Traveller in Little Things (1921), and A Hind in Richmond Park (1922). By their detailed, imaginative descriptions, conveying the sensations of one who accepted nature in all its aspects, these works did much to foster the "back-to-nature" movement of the 1920s and 1930s but were subsequently little read.

Book Synopsis Finding W. H. Hudson by : Conor Mark Jameson
Download or read book Finding W. H. Hudson written by Conor Mark Jameson and published by Pelagic Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An imposing, life-size oil painting dominates the main meeting room at the RSPB’s base in the heart of England: ‘the man above the fireplace’ – always present, rarely mentioned. Curious about the person in the portrait, the author began a quest to rediscover William Henry Hudson (1841–1922). It became a mission of restoration: stitching back together the faded tapestry of Hudson’s life, re-colouring it in places and adding new threads from the testaments of his closest friends. This book traces the unassuming field naturalist’s path through a dramatic and turbulent era: from Hudson’s journey to Britain from Argentina in 1874 to the unveiling by the prime minister of a monument and bird sanctuary in his honour 50 years later, in the heart of Hyde Park – a place where the young immigrant had, for a time, slept rough. At its core, this extraordinary story reveals Hudson’s deep influence on the creation of his beloved Bird Society by its founding women, and the rise of the conservation movement. It reveals the strange magnetism of this mysterious man from the Pampas – unschooled, battle-scarred and once penniless – that made his achievements possible, and left such a profound impression on those who knew him. By the end of his life, Hudson had Hollywood studios bidding for his work. He was a household name through his luminous and seminal nature writing, and the Bird Society had at last reached the climax of a 30-year campaign, working to create the first global alliance of bird protectionists. A century after Hudson’s death, this is a long-overdue tribute to perhaps our most significant – and most neglected – writer-naturalist and wildlife campaigner.
Download or read book A Crystal Age written by Hudson W H and published by Double 9 Books. This book was released on 2023-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Crystal Age," written with the aid of W. H. Hudson, is a splendid and visionary work of speculative fiction that transports readers to a far off and utopian future. Published in 1887, the novel introduces us to a global in which humanity has evolved beyond its cutting-edge state of lifestyles, attaining a harmonious and idyllic society. Hudson's narrative begins with the protagonist, a nineteenth-century man, who stumbles upon an historical, crystalline cavern that serves as a portal to this utopian age. As he enters this new international, he is astounded by the transformation of human society. Gone are the struggles, conflicts, and materialism of his very own time. In their vicinity, he reveals a nonviolent, agrarian society dwelling in concord with nature. The Crystal Age, as defined by Hudson, is a time of enlightenment and information. People stay communally, sharing assets and duties. They have advanced telepathic talents, getting rid of the want for spoken language, and have embraced a deep reference to the natural international. The novel explores themes of social evolution, environmentalism, and the capability for humanity to transcend its cutting-edge boundaries. Hudson's writing is marked via its poetic and philosophical depth, imparting readers a charming and idea-scary glimpse into an idealized future.
Book Synopsis Living in the Sound of the Wind by : Jason Wilson
Download or read book Living in the Sound of the Wind written by Jason Wilson and published by Constable. This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: W. H. Hudson was brought up on the pampas, where he learnt from gauchos about frontier life. After moving to London in 1874, Hudson lived in extreme poverty. Like his friend Joseph Conrad, Hudson was an exile, adapting to England. He never returned to Argentina. Wilson unravels Hudson’s English dream, his natural history rambles, and his work to protect birds. He remains both a complex witness to his homeland before mass immigration and to his England of the mind, before the urban sprawl. Praise for Jason Wilson: Tireless, shrewd, erudite Jason Wilson, mixing hard fact and anthology, provides the perfect outfit of allusion and comparative experience - Jonathan Keates, Observer Put his treasure trove into your pocket. - Anthony Sattin, Sunday Times The idea is so simple that it must be original. This inaugural book might prove to be a landmark. - Nicholas Shakespeare, Daily Telegraph
Book Synopsis The British in Argentina by : David Rock
Download or read book The British in Argentina written by David Rock and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on largely unexplored nineteenth- and twentieth-century sources, this book offers an in-depth study of Britain’s presence in Argentina. Its subjects include the nineteenth-century rise of British trade, merchants and explorers, of investment and railways, and of British imperialism. Spanning the period from the Napoleonic Wars until the end of the twentieth century, it provides a comprehensive history of the unique British community in Argentina. Later sections examine the decline of British influence in Argentina from World War I into the early 1950s. Finally, the book traces links between British multinationals and the political breakdown in Argentina of the 1970s and early 1980s, leading into dictatorship and the Falklands War. Combining economic, social and political history, this extensive volume offers new insights into both the historical development of Argentina and of British interests overseas.
