Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Acclaimed International Bestseller "It is impossible to do justice to the beauty of Returning Light. The whole book is a poem." New York Times Book ReviewBy the lighthouse keeper on the remote, otherworldly Irish island of Skellig Michael, a 'profound memoir about the importance of place…and what it really means to belong' (Belfast Telegraph)"On Skellig Michael, thousands of birds appear and disappear, erecting towers, coming together in wings of movement which build and unravel over the empty sea. Often, no one else is there to stand beside me on the island. The mind wanders; links with the past are easily made; ancient ways of viewing things come alive."In 1987, Robert Harris happened upon an unusual job posting inthe local papera new warden service was being set up on the island of Skellig Michael, and the deadline was imminent. Just weeks later he was on his way to set up camp in one of Ireland's most remote locations, unaware that he would be making that same journey every May for the next 30 years.Here he transports us to the otherworldly island, a place that is teeming with natural life, including curious puffins that like to visit his hut. From the precipice he has observed a coastline that is relatively unchanged for the last thousand yearsa beacon of equilibrium in an ever-changing world.But the island can be fierce too. It's inhabitable for only five months of the year, and solitude can quickly become isolation as bad weather rolls in to create a veil between Skellig Michael and the rest of the world, when the dizzying terrain can become a very real threat to life.A beautiful and evocative work of nature writing, this inspirational memoir Returning Lightis an extraordinary story about the profound effect a place can have on us, and how a remote location can bring with it a great sense of belonging.This unforgettable Irish memoir of a life spent in solitude explores:- A Unique Calling: The surprising story of a man who answered a newspaper ad and spent the next thirty summers as the warden of a remote, otherworldly island.- Irish Nature Writing: A beautiful and evocative look at the seasons on Skellig Michael, from the thousands of birds that fill the sky to the curious puffins that visit the author's hut.- The Power of Place: A moving meditation on how a remote, wild landscape can offer an unparalleled sense of belonging and equilibrium in an ever-changing world.- Life in Solitude: An honest reflection on the stark difference between chosen solitude and sudden isolation when the weather rolls in, turning the dizzying terrain into a real threat.
