Von der hinteren Coverseite

Here is the story of English culture over a thousand years told through the
creative responses to the weather. Writers and artists across the centuries,
from Chaucer to Ian McEwan, and from the creator of the Luttrell Psalter in
the 14th century to John Piper in the 20th, looking up at the same skies and
walking in the same brisk air, have felt very different things and woven them
into their novels, poems and paintings. Weatherland is both a sweeping panorama of cultural climates on the
move and an intimate account rich with evocative details - for although
weather, like culture, is vast, it is experienced physically, emotionally and
spiritually; as Harris so cleverly reveals, it is at the very core of what it
means to be English.
