From fall to spring, J.A. Baker set out to track the daily comings and goings of a pair of peregrine falcons across the flat fen lands of eastern England. He followed the birds obsessively, observing them in the air and on the ground, in pursuit of their prey, making a kill, eating, and at rest, activities he describes with an extraordinary fusion of precision and poetry. And as he continued his mysterious private quest, his sense of human self slowly dissolved, to be replaced with the alien and implacable consciousness of a hawk.
It is this extraordinary metamorphosis, magical and terrifying, that these beautifully written pages record.
John A. Baker lives with his wife in Essex. He has had assorted jobs, including chopping down trees and pushing book trolleys in the British Museum. In 1965 he gave up work and lived on the money he had saved, devoting all his time to his obsession - the peregrine. He re-wrote his account of this bird five times before submitting it for publication. Although he had no ornithological training and had never written a book before, when The Peregrine was published in 1967 it was received with enthusiastic reviews and praise for his lyrical prose. Later that year he was awarded the distinguished Duff Cooper prize. He was also awarded a substantial Arts Council grant. His second book, The Hill of Summer, was published in 1969 and was also received with unanimous praise by the critics.

評分非常遺憾不是一部紀錄片
評分★★★★★★★★★★……
評分聽完有聲書,比想象中要殘酷一些(不乏血腥場麵的描寫)| 非常有共鳴的一本書,也想像Baker觀察遊隼那樣從觀察一棵樹到成為一棵樹
評分★★★★★★★★★★……
不能在一般的意义上理解这本《游隼》的寂静。你需要先从一些声音出发,切姆斯福德海岸线的浪涛声、埃塞克斯散落牧场旁小溪穿越恺木的水流声、荒野之风游荡的呼啸声、一只狐狸在河谷深处的穿行声、夜鹰滑过黄昏沉入树林的筑巢声、当然还有那一对游隼无数次从天空向下俯冲的声音...

評分距离游隼最近的一次,是在旅顺的某处内湾,或者称之为内海会更准确。此为咸淡水交汇之所,涨潮时海水涌入湾内,鸥鹭逐潮而来,翔集栖止。单凭回忆,我无法复原出完整的场景,只记得湾内有人工建造的堤坝,在正午时分反射出白垩色的光,令人厌倦、瞌睡。 正在观察如白卵石堆一般...
評分1966年的一天,一位中年人走进了一家伦敦出版商的办公室,拿出了厚厚的四百页的书稿,书稿的内容是有关他对自然的深爱——对游隼的痴迷。那时,没有人认识这位已经不惑之年的写作者。他叫John Alec Baker(1926-1987),土生土长于埃塞克斯的切尔姆斯福特郡,没有接受过高等教...
評分距离译稿完成已经有一段时间了,但当我坐下来写这篇译后记时,一些画面仍不断重现⋯⋯一个男人,站在高高的海堤上,群鸟纷飞,在他脸上投下瀑布般的倒影。北海辽阔无边际。那个人走在旷野,那个人等在河谷,那个人躲避着农场上充满敌意的眼睛,缓慢,安静,没什么表情,忽...
