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.
本以為能看到作者“乘天地之正,禦六氣之辯,以遊無窮”般的開闊,可惜隻看到瞭一個孤寂受睏的靈魂。

評分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。
初读《游隼》,是在去年十一月。那时正值一段痛苦经历的开端,而我觉察到悲伤。某一个周日下午,我一个人在寝室,难受得喘不过气来。第二天,我读到《游隼》里的句子,诗性,敏锐,而基调带着无端的悲伤。那种感觉瞬间抓住了我。 我一直渴望成为外在世界的一部分,到最外面去,...
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 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...
