Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - PartH Is for Hawk, partThe Soul of an Octopus,The Book of Eelsis both a meditation on the world's most elusive fishthe eeland a reflection on the human conditionRemarkably little is known about the European eel,Anguilla anguilla. So little, in fact, that scientists and philosophers have, for centuries, been obsessed with whathas becomeknown as the "eel question": Where do eels come from What are they Are they fish or some other kind of creature altogether Even today, in an age of advanced science, no one has ever seen eels mating or giving birth, and we still don't understand what drives them, after living for decades in freshwater, to swim great distances back to the ocean at the end of their lives.

InThe Book of Eels,we meet renowned historical thinkers, from Aristotle to Sigmund Freud to Rachel Carson, for whom the eel was a singular obsession.

The result is a gripping and slippery narrative that will surprise and enchant.…
