Pleasures of Nature: A Literary Anthology

by Christina Hardyment (Editor)

From Leonardo da Vinci on the shifting colors of the sky to Charlotte Brontë on the wild moors of Yorkshire, and from DH Lawrence inhabiting the mind of the indomitable tortoise to the intrepid Isabella Bird climbing a Hawaiian volcano, the anthology showcases many voices—lyrical, awestruck, often deeply reflective. The texts gathered here, many accompanied by rarely seen artwork from early editions, are all grounded in close observation and real love of the landscape, and reveal the tradition of nature writing to be deep-rooted and infinitely varied.

[Truly · Rating 4 out of 5]

Menemukan buku ini di area literature saat BBW 2020 di Serpong yg lalu. Harganya dibawah Rp 100.000 jauh lebih murah dari pada isi yang ditawarkan.
Namanya antologi, isinya juga beragam. Tapi bagi mereka yang menyukai dunia buku dan alam, buku ini layak dibaca.
