Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - FINALIST FOR THE GOTHAM BOOK PRIZE NATIONAL BESTSELLER Eye-opening essays about searching for peace in the cacophony of birds and discovering a world of meaning in small momentsfrom award-winning actor Lili Taylor."By turns introspective, inquisitive, and funny, the book is a love letter to nature and the solace it can provide."The New YorkerA NEW YORKER AND LIBRARY JOURNAL BEST BOOK OF THE YEARMost people don't really know birdsor rather, they aren't aware of them. Lili Taylor used to be one of those people. She knew birds existed. She thought about them, maybe even more than the average person. But she didn't know them. And then something happened. During a much-needed break from her work as an actor, Lili sought silence and instead found the bustling, symphonic world of birds that had always existed around her. Since then, she has kept a keen eye pressed to her binoculars in search of vivid stories that elevate the everyday, if only one pays attention. Through a series of beautifully crafted essays, Taylor shares her intimate encounters with the birds that have captured her heart and imaginationfrom tracking flitting woodpeckers through oak trees to spotting majestic blue jays perched on a Manhattan fire escape; from the exhilaration of witnessing a migratory flock from the top of the Empire State Building to the quiet joy of observing a nest of hatchlings in her own backyard. Through simply paying attention to birds, Lili has been shown a parallel world that is wider and deeper, one of constant change and movement, full of life and the will to survive.Throughout Turning to Birds, Taylor encourages mindfulness, inviting readers to be present and fully engaged with the world around them. Taylor's lyrical prose and thoughtful meditations on both the art we make and the art we discover around us create a sense of intimacy and wonder, inviting readers to see the world through new eyes and to find joy in the most unexpected places. …
