Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'Axel Linden is a shepherd-philosopher with James Herriot's knack for mishap and an almost Chekhovian deadpan humour.' Observer'Endearing and liberating.' Idler Magazine'A sublime little book.' Cotswold Life_______Why do we keep sheep? Alex Linden ruminates as he watches his sheep ruminating. Naive and inexperienced, he has ditched his doctoral studies in order to move to a fully working farm in the country with his family, where he is tasked with the responsibility of caring for a herd of sheep.Linden records his new life in his diary, as he tries to manage life on the farm, the ever-escaping sheep and the trials and tribulations that come with being a shepherd - shearing, lambing and confronting the slaughterhouse. As time passes and he gradually settles into the rhythm of shepherding, his naivete fades away and is replaced with stark realisations about what is now his everyday life. He finds himself applying his experiences of animal husbandry to consider our place - as individuals and as a collective organism - in the universe. Is he really the one caring for the sheep, or are they the ones keeping him? Linden finds both companionship in his flock and a sound, if complex, moral framework for examining the lives we lead.The result is a sensitive and entertaining meditation on the small wonders in our world. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. El debut de un urbanita sueco convertido en pastor de ovejas durante 1. 026 días. Contar ovejas es un libro sutil y filosófico, exquisitamente ingenioso y conmovedor, en el que su autor, un académico de origen sueco, se convierte en pastor y trata de organizar su vida en una granja con un huidizo rebaño de ovejas. Nuestro protagonista comienza su aventura con una idea por demás ingenua de lo que significará cuidar su propiedad y, sobre todo, el rebaño, pero a medida que pasa el tiempo y va adaptándose a su nueva realidad, cualquier traza de ingenuidad se desvanece para ser reemplazada por la cabal comprensión de lo que es su realidad como pastor: dura a veces, fácil otras, en ocasiones muy satisfactoria, y en otras agotadora. Contar ovejas recoge los pensamientos y reflexiones de Axel Lindén durante los 1. 026 días que pasó en el campo, al tiempo que nos ayuda a volver a lo básico y plantearnos las responsabilidades que suponen cuidar de algo y de alguien. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Opousti svuj zivot mladeho mestskeho intelektuala, aby se ponoril do uplne jineho sveta - toho ovciho - a zjistuje, ze vytvorit si vztah s ovcemi muze byt stejne slozite jako cist Prousta. Kniha-denik zachycuje kratka zamysleni, misty az existencialni uvahy zalozene na strohych reflexich kazdodennich cinnosti, ktere tvori nutnou soucast (venkovskeho) zivota, i na hloubani o psychologii ovciho stada.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Norwegian Wood meets The Tao of Pooh in this philosophical, witty, and heartwarming collection of daily observations from a Swedish academic-turned-sheep farmer who finds peace and meaning outside the hustle and bustle of modern, urban life. One of the fun things about keeping sheep is that now and then it feels like something other than a job or a duty. Perhaps the feeling can best be summed up by the idea that it's not I who keep the sheep, but the sheep who keep me. When Axel Lindén leaves his literary life in the city for the farm he unexpectedly inherits-along with the ever-escaping flock of sheep that comes with it-he has a fairly naïve notion of what farm life will be: pure drudgery. But as time passes and Axel slowly settles into the rhythms of the farm and shepherding, his naiveté fades away and is gradually replaced with a new appreciation of the spiritual and emotional value of manual labor, caring for other living things, and staying connected to the earth. Capturing his observations and thoughts in short diary entries, Counting Sheep is a meditative and irresistibly delightful book that delves into the small wonders of our world and celebrates pastoral life, demonstrating that it's often the little things in life that mean the most.…
