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.
英文看得還蠻吃力的,關鍵其實蠻枯燥的,十年如一日觀察同一種鳥。適閤鳥類愛好者。中譯本好評如潮是因為翻譯好,有詩意的享受。但英文隻有偶爾的迷離、與隼的對峙比較有意思,絕大部分都隻是語言科學般的精確。對瞭,對照鳥書的英文索引看還不錯,遊隼獵物一覽!哈哈哈。
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
評分無法用語言錶達我對這文字對癡。
評分非常遺憾不是一部紀錄片
評分一本非常文藝,非常素淡的書
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...
評分我特别强烈想要了解猛禽的一切时,看了一些关于它们的书和电影。看克里斯托弗·诺兰的电影《敦刻尔克》时,看到天上的战机,我情不自禁满脑子想的也都是隼,尤其是出现了一句“小心敌机逆光袭击”的台词时。而确实隼的捕猎技巧被编入一战和二战时期的战斗机飞行员教程——由于...
評分贝克的《游隼》总让我想起哪吒,它闲来无事就飞出来吓其他鸟,把它们吓得惊慌失措四处逃窜它就若无其事地飞走了。乌鸦是个社会鸦,它会凶狠地飞出来撵游隼,驱逐它,有时它们还会打一架。每天出来吓吓鸟群基本上是游隼的热身活动,他说它追赶鸟儿就像狗追赶着蝴蝶一样,它有时...
評分《游隼》一本写鹰的书。是一个作家用自己优美的文字,描写游隼日常生活的说科研不科研,说日记不日记,说升华又没多升华的复合体。看这本书让我想起好多曾经看过的科研类“散文”,比如《一平方英寸的寂静》《狗的家世》等等。 我相信很多人可以通过阅读这本书,找到他不同于其...
