图书描述

"In real life, goshawks resemble sparrowhawks the way leopards resemble housecats. Bigger, yes. But bulkier, bloodier, deadlier, scarier, and much, much harder to see. Birds of deep woodland, not gardens, they're the birdwatchers' dark grail."

As a child Helen Macdonald was determined to become a falconer. She learned the arcane terminology and read all the classic books, including T. H. White's tortured masterpiece, The Goshawk, which describes White's struggle to train a hawk as a spiritual contest.

When her father dies and she is knocked sideways by grief, she becomes obsessed with the idea of training her own goshawk. She buys Mabel for £800 on a Scottish quayside and takes her home to Cambridge. Then she fills the freezer with hawk food and unplugs the phone, ready to embark on the long, strange business of trying to train this wildest of animals.

"To train a hawk you must watch it like a hawk, and so gain the ability to predict what it will do next. Eventually you don't see the hawk's body language at all. You seem to feel what it feels. The hawk's apprehension becomes your own. As the days passed and I put myself in the hawk's wild mind to tame her, my humanity was burning away."

Destined to be a classic of nature writing, H is for Hawk is a record of a spiritual journey – an unflinchingly honest account of Macdonald's struggle with grief during the difficult process of the hawk's taming and her own untaming. At the same time, it's a kaleidoscopic biography of the brilliant and troubled novelist T. H. White, best known for The Once and Future King. It's a book about memory, nature and nation, and how it might be possible to try to reconcile death with life and love.

读后感

苍鹰是一种中小型猛禽,体长可达60厘米,翼展约1.3米,主要以森林鼠类、野兔、雉类、榛鸡、鸠鸽类和其他小型鸟类为食,视觉敏锐,善于飞翔,是力量的象征。而海伦·麦克唐纳,当她失去父亲的时候,她一度因为陷入了深深的悲痛之中而不能自拔,亟需一种力量来帮助她走出痛苦的旋...

透过拉着的窗帘半明半暗的光线,我看见她站在栖息架上,身体放松,戴着头罩,超凡脱俗。强有力的鹰爪十分恐怖,弯曲的黑色鹰嘴,光滑的、厚实的、带欧蕾咖啡斑纹的前胸,可可色,泪珠状,简直就像一个卡布基诺武士。“你好,鹰。”我轻声说。听到声音,她警觉地把全身羽毛收紧...

看这本书的时候一度时间让我想起年初看的那本美国作家琼•狄迪恩为了纪念逝世的爱人而写的一本回忆录《奇想之年》,而这本海伦·麦克唐纳的《海伦的苍鹰》,也是因为作者在挚爱的父亲离世以后,为了忘却的纪念,买了一只被叫着梅贝尔的苍鹰,通过训鹰来怀念和度过这段失去亲...  

评分

这是一本关于驯鹰的书,讲得又不单单是驯鹰,还有穿插着对于刚刚过世的父亲的追忆,对20世纪初英国作家T.S. White的回忆。 作者Helen MacDonald从小的时候就读了很多关于驯鹰的书,在二十世纪的欧洲有很多关于驯鹰的故事,因为人性对于权利和征服感有着发自内心的执着,而Hawk...
