Robert Macfarlane

autor

Lennvilág


Különös, összetett műfajú könyvében Robert Macfarlane föld alatti világokba kalauzol el bennünket: bronzkori temetkezési kamrákba, grönlandi gleccserek mélyére, a Párizs alatti katakombák labirintusába, a szlovéniai karsztvidék víznyelőibe. De szó esik a fák közti kommunikációt lehetővé tevő gombafonalrendszerekről, vagy az új-mexikói sivatag alatti radioaktívhulladék-temetőről is. Izgalmas, olykor megrendítő utazások ezek az emberi történelem és bolygónk történetének múltjába, jelenébe és jövőjébe. És rádöbbentenek, hogy a "lenti világ", melynek létezéséről alig veszünk tudomást, szerves része mindennapi életünknek.

Podzemie. Cesta hlbokým časom


Žijeme na nepokojnej planéte, a tak nás prirodzene zaujíma, aký bude svet po nás? Aké tvory ho budú obývať? A kam sa pohnú nehybné horstvá? Odpoveď nehľadajme v budúcnosti, ale práve naopak - v tom, čo tu bolo dávno pred nami. Pod povrchom. So skvelým Robertom Macfarlanom. Táto kniha definitívne zmení váš pohľad na svet. A to napriek tomu, že rozpráva o neviditeľnom, o tom, čo je ľudskému zraku skryté. Jaskynné systémy hĺbené milióny rokov trpezlivou vodou v sebe ukrývajú aj krvavé stopy druhej svetovej vojny. Bezrozmerné banské štôlne siahajú hlboko pod úroveň morského dna a podzemné laboratóriá sa snažia zachytiť kozmický vánok. Robert Macfarlane navštívil mnohé kúty našej planéty, aby skúmal podzemné priestory vo všetkých možných formách. V londýnskom lesíku neďaleko rušnej diaľnice uvažuje o lesnom internete rozprávajúcich sa stromov, s Urbex výskumníkmi v obrovskom podzemnom meste pod ulicami Paríža zas o krehkosti ľudského života. A čo mu hovoria pohrebiská rádioaktívneho odpadu v hlbinách fínskeho pobrežia? A čo roztápajúce sa grónske ľadovce, spod ktorých sa vynára opustená raketová základňa? Výnimočná kniha Podzemie sa zaoberá tým, čo by sme mohli nazvať archeológiou prítomnosti. Macfarlane pozerá okolo seba a snaží sa pochopiť, čo po nás nájde budúci výskumník a ako bude o tisíce rokov vysvetľovať našu prítomnosť. Podzemie je hlboká cesta strojom času do ďalekej budúcnosti, pri ktorej sa nám ponúka zdanlivo jednoduchá otázku: Sme dobrými predkami? "Už vyše pätnásť rokov píšem o vzťahoch medzi krajinou a ľudským srdcom," povedal o svojej tvorbe Robert Macfarlane, ktorého označujú za najvýraznejšieho súčasného autora píšuceho o prírode. Jeho výnimočná kniha Podzemie vychádza v preklade Ivany Krekáňovej.

The Old Ways


The "Old Ways" is the stunning new book by acclaimed nature writer Robert Macfarlane Shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson prize 2012. In "The Old Ways" Robert Macfarlane sets off from his Cambridge home to follow the ancient tracks, holloways, drove-roads and sea paths that form part of a vast network of routes criss-crossing the British landscape and its waters, and connecting them to the continents beyond. The result is an immersive, enthralling exploration of the ghosts and voices that haunt old paths, of the stories our tracks keep and tell, of pilgrimage and ritual, and of songlines and their singers. Above all this is a book about people and place: about walking as a reconnoitre inwards, and the subtle ways in which we are shaped by the landscapes through which we move. Told in Macfarlane's distinctive and celebrated voice, the book folds together natural history, cartography, geology, archaeology and literature. His tracks take him from the chalk downs of England to the bird-islands of the Scottish northwest, and from the disputed territories of Palestine to the sacred landscapes of Spain and the Himalayas. Along the way he walks stride for stride with a 5000-year-old man near Liverpool, follows the 'deadliest path in Britain', sails an open boat out into the Atlantic at night, and crosses paths with walkers of many kinds - wanderers, wayfarers, pilgrims, guides, shamans, poets, trespassers and devouts. He discovers that paths offer not just means of traversing space, but also of feeling, knowing and thinking. The old ways lead us unexpectedly to the new, and the voyage out is always a voyage inwards.

Mountains of the Mind


Why do so many feel compelled to risk their lives climbing mountains? During the climbing season, one person a day dies in the Alps, and more people die climbing in this season in Scotland than they do on the roads. "Mountains of the Mind" pursues a fascinating investigation into our emotional and imaginative responses to mountains, and how these have changed over the last few centuries. It is rich with literary and historical references, and punctuated by beautifully written descriptions of the author's own climbing experiences. There are chapters on glaciers, geology, the pursuit of fear, the desire to explore the unknown, and the desire to get to the summit, and the book ends with a gripping account of Mallory's attempt on Everest. "Mountains of the Mind" is a beautifully written synthesis of climbing memoir and cultural history.

Landmarks


Landmarks is Robert Macfarlane's joyous meditation on words, landscape and the relationship between the two. Words are grained into our landscapes, and landscapes are grained into our words. Landmarks is about the power of language to shape our sense of place. It is a field guide to the literature of nature, and a glossary containing thousands of remarkable words used in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales to describe land, nature and weather. Travelling from Cumbria to the Cairngorms, and exploring the landscapes of Roger Deakin, J. A. Baker, Nan Shepherd and others, Robert Macfarlane shows that language, well used, is a keen way of knowing landscape, and a vital means of coming to love it. Praise for The Old Ways: "A magnificent meditation on walking and writing. An astonishingly haunted book' Adam Nicolson, Daily Telegraph 'Sets the imagination tingling ...like reading a prose Odyssey sprinkled with imagist poems". (John Carey, Sunday Times). "A wonderful book. He has a poet's eye and a prose style that will make many a novelist burn with envy". (John Banville, Observer). Robert Macfarlane won the Guardian First Book Award, the Somerset Maugham Award, and the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award for his first book, Mountains of the Mind. His second, The Wild Places, won three prizes and was adapted for the BBC. The Old Ways was joint winner of the Dolman Travel Book of the Year Award, and shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize and eight other awards. He is a Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge.

The Gifts of Reading


From the acclaimed author of The Old Ways and Landmarks -- an essay on the joy of reading, for anyone who has ever loved a book Every book is a kind of gift to its reader, and the act of giving books is charged with a special emotional resonance. It is a meeting of three minds (the giver, the author, the recipient), an exchange of intellectual and psychological currency, that leaves each participant enriched. Here Robert Macfarlane recounts the story of a book he was given as a young man, and how he managed eventually to return the favour, though never repay the debt. From one of the most lyrical writers of our time comes a perfectly formed gem, a lyrical celebration of the transcendent power and humanity of the given book.

Hory v hlavě


Kdysi dávno si lidé mysleli, že v horách žijí nestvůry. V době osvícenství mnozí cestovatelé stoupali na hřebeny, aby zakusili vznešeno. Nedlouho poté alpinisté horečně dobývali vrcholy a štíty ve jménu vlasti. Odkdy dokážou hory tolik fascinovat lidskou mysl a co nutí nesčetné dobrodruhy, aby v horských výšinách znovu a znovu riskovali zdraví i život? Ve své literární prvotině, která se vzápětí stala klasikou, nás Robert Macfarlane provádí místy koncentrovaného času a zničující krásy, kde lze zažít ryzí strach i opojnou závrať z vlastní bezvýznamnosti. Za Hory v hlavě obdržel Macfarlane řadu ocenění, mimo jiné Somerset Maugham Award nebo Guardian First Book Award, a na motivy knihy vznikl také pořad vysílaný televizní stanicí BBC.

Ness


Eerie, unsettling and hauntingly beautiful - a new collaboration from the bestselling creators of Holloway 'Ness goes beyond what we expect books to do. Beyond poetry, beyond the word, beyond the bomb -- it is an aftertime song. It is dark, ever so dark, nimble and lethal. It is a triumphant libretto of mythic modernism for our poisoned age. Ness is something else, and feels like it always has been' Max Porter, Booker-longlisted author of Lanny and Grief is the Thing with Feathers Somewhere on a salt-and-shingle island, inside a ruined concrete structure known as The Green Chapel, a figure called The Armourer is leading a ritual with terrible intent. But something is coming to stop him. Five more-than-human forms are traversing land, sea and time towards The Green Chapel, moving to the point where they will converge and become Ness. Ness has lichen skin and willow-bones. Ness is made of tidal drift, green moss and deep time. Ness has hagstones for eyes and speaks only in birds. And Ness has come to take this island back. What happens when land comes to life? What would it take for land to need to come to life? Using word and image, Robert Macfarlane and Stanley Donwood have together made a minor modern myth. Part-novella, part-prose-poem, part-mystery play, in Ness their skills combine to dazzling, troubling effect. Robert Macfarlane is the author of The Lost Words with Jackie Morris, The Old Ways and Underland, among other books. Stanley Donwood is an artist and the author of Slowly Downward and Household Worms. His next books are There Will Be No Quiet and Bad Island.
