Krátky popis
'Late Light brings the refreshing perspective of someone who goes
from seeing England as a foreign place to someone who deeply
studies its secret wonders. An astonishing read.' - Amy Liptrot,
The OutrunThis is a book about falling in love with vanishing
thingsLate Light is the story of Michael Malay's own journey, an
Indonesian Australian making a home for himself in England and
finding strange parallels between his life and the lives of the
animals he examines. Mixing natural history with memoir, this book
explores the mystery of our animal neighbours, in all their
richness and variety.It is about the wonder these animals inspired
in our ancestors, the hope they inspire in us, and the joy they
might still hold for our children. Late Light is about migration,
belonging and extinction. Through the close examination of four
particular 'unloved' animals - eels, moths, crickets and mussels -
Michael Malay tells the story of the economic, political and
cultural events that have shaped the modern landscape of
Britain.For readers of Robert Macfarlane, Raynor Winn and Helen
Macdonald, Late Light is a rich blend of memoir, natural history,
nature writing, and a meditation on being and belonging, from a
vibrant new voice. 'Late Light is a book that glows with warmth in
spite of its dark subtext. Malay's prose is gorgeous and astute, he
looks with fresh eyes at unpopular species and finds poetry and
meaning.His voice is irresistible - Late Light is a powerful new
work of nature writing. ' - Sara Baume, Seven Steeples'Late Light
is a book of little revelations. It approaches small things with a
quiet and tender profundity, and its attentiveness to the quivering
of life will leave you aching with world-love.' - Abi Andrews, The
Word for Woman is Wilderness
