Alte Wege
Robert Macfarlane folgt den alten Wegen - jenen Pfaden, Hohlstraßen, Fuhrten, Feld- und Seewegen, die seit der Antike die menschlichen Siedlungsräume miteinander verbinden und noch immer als unsichtbare Wegweiser unsere Bewegungen bestimmen. Seine Reise führt den wichtigsten Naturschriftsteller Großbritanniens von den englischen Kreidefelsen zu den einsamen Vogelinseln Schottlands, von den Kulturlandschaften Spaniens zu den Pilgerrouten Palästinas und bis in den Himalaya. Sie lässt ihn in fünftausend Jahre alte Fußstapfen treten und in einem kleinen Segelboot auf den nächtlichen Atlantik hinaustreiben. Er lauscht den Geschichten, die diese alten Wege noch immer erzählen, und den Stimmen derjenigen, die er auf seinen Fußmärschen begegnet: andere Wanderer, Spaziergänger und Sinnsucher, sogar tibetanische Mönche. Diese alten Pfade, begreift er bald, sind mehr als Möglichkeiten, einen Raum zu durchmessen. Nach ihrer jahrhundertelanger Begehung sind sie vielmehr auch Knotenpunkte unseres Denkens, Netzwerke unseres Wissens und ein geographisches Gewebe unserer Gefühle geworden.

Karte der Wildnis
Wo gibt es heute noch Wildnis? Robert Macfarlanes Suche nach den letzten unberührten Flecken Natur wird zum lebendigen Streifzug. Er entdeckt abgelegene Inseln und verborgene Gebirge, durchwandert unwegsame Moore und undurchdringliche Wälder. Er schwimmt in brandender See und in stehenden Gewässern, erklimmt windumtoste Gipfel, schläft in Sandkuhlen. Und er begibt sich auf die Spuren derjenigen, die diese Orte vor ihm aufsuchten: Pilger und Philosophen, Forscher und Literaten. Eine sprachmächtige Einladung zum Staunen.

Il barbagianni, la volpe e la quercia
Lascia che la natura ti prenda lo sguardo, ti colmi la voce, t'invada il cuore. Lepri bianche, falene, civette, volpi, ghiandaie ma anche betulle, querce, margherite e molti altri animali e piante comuni o di rara bellezza immortalati in parole e illustrazioni che scorrono tra le pagine e nella mente come (in)canti perduti. La poesia dei testi di Robert Macfarlane e le illustrazioni ad acquerello di Jackie Morris sono musicali e magiche come fiabe lontane, perdute reminiscenze, paesaggi dimenticati. Leggere questo libro ad alta voce è avere di nuovo il mondo naturale a portata di mano e ricordare cosa succede quando gli permettiamo di scivolare lontano da noi. Un balsamo per l'anima che cura come un incantesimo, un piccolo miracolo della natura che nutre cuore e mente e che apre tra le mani di grandi e piccini un prezioso scrigno di incanto e conoscenza. Età di lettura: da 7 anni. Das Urheberrecht an bibliographischen und produktbeschreibenden Daten und an den bereitgestellten Bildern liegt bei Informazioni Editoriali, I.E.
