Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - These poems are inspired by David Lythgoe's world-wide travels, the natural world, our place in the universe, and a (still) developing love of being alive. The poems follow a sequence in which each poem has a connection, sometimes tenuous, with those immediately before and behind. Consequently, you may find here juxtapositions where pathos is followed by unexpected joy, spirituality is intertwined with humour and mundane life engages with the cosmos.David Lythgoe will certainly invite you to look again at nature in Beside Another Sea, his fourth book of poetry.'I like the way it evokes the past . and yet connects with the present . at the same time containing an element of lightness - even of joking - which is entertaining to the reader.'Andrew Motion, Poet Laureate emeritus'David has won awards for his writing and . he unearths feelings as much as facts . his background enables him to merge a travelogue with classical literary, and scientific linguistic devices. In short this collection is a selection of gems to hold, to treasure and to reflect upon. The cliché would be to say, 'enjoy'. This you will do, but expect also to be moved, perhaps to weep, to sigh, to laugh but, above all, to be grateful for such gifts, skill and insight that have been shared.'Revd. Dr Andrew Pratt.

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 256 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | 70 years of achievements and failures.This book is based on the author's experiences covering over seventy years of walking and climbing, but it is far more than a mere record. Within its pages you will find joy and sadness, triumph and tragedy recounted against a background of family life with its necessary restraints. It is neither an autobiography nor a travelogue, but you will find here the essence of an enquiring spirit condensed from a lifetime of contemplating what mountains mean to the human condition. Youthful misdemeanours, accidents and mature aspirations (not all were successful) are recounted with equal candour.
