The Clouded Mirror
Anbieter: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spanien
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Zustand: Good. : En estos evocadores y elegíacos escritos, L.T.C. Rolt reflexiona sobre el paisaje, la historia, la poesía, los ferrocarriles de vapor, los coches antiguos y los interminables días de verano de su infancia. También recuerda sus felices viajes en barco por los canales de Gran Bretaña: la paz y la tranquilidad, la vida salvaje y la gente, los paisajes cambiantes mientras viajaba de un condado a otro, y el papel que desempeñó en la preservación de las vías fluviales para las generaciones futuras. Generaciones de habitantes han ayudado a dar forma a la campiña inglesa, pero también nos ha moldeado profundamente a nosotros. Ha provocado una gran variedad de respuestas de artistas, escritores, músicos y personas que viven y trabajan en la tierra, así como de quienes viajan a través de ella. "English Journeys" celebra esta larga tradición con una serie de veinte libros sobre todos los aspectos de la campiña, desde el pastel de stargazey y las iglesias rurales hasta la relación del hombre con la naturaleza y las canciones que celebran los patrones de la campiña (así como fantasmas y soldados enamorados).
