An experienced falconerHelen had been captivated by hawks since childhoodshe'd never before been tempted to train one of the most vicious predators, the goshawk. But in her grief, she saw that the goshawk's fierce and feral temperament mirrored her own. Resolving to purchase and raise the deadly creature as a means to cope with her loss, she adopted Mabel, and turned to the guidance ofThe Once and Future King author T.H. White's chronicle The Goshawk to begin her challenging endeavor. Projecting herself "in the hawk's wild mind to tame her" tested the limits of Macdonald's humanity and changed her life. Heart-wrenching and humorous, this book is an unflinching account of bereavement and a unique look at the magnetism of an extraordinary beast, with a parallel examination of a legendary writer's eccentric falconry. Obsession, madness, memory, myth, and history combine to achieve a distinctive blend of nature writing and memoir from an outstanding literary innovator Auch als Druckausg. vorhanden http://www.onleihe.de/wallis/frontend/mediaInfo,55-0-400613582-100-0-0-0-0-0-0-0.html Accès réservé - Netzabhängiger Zugriff BK020053 XK020053 XK020000 Metadata rights reserved rero RERO RE11001 RE11001 RE110010018 - - RERO 100 1- MacDonald Helen 1970- (RERO)A012823007 cre RERO 856 40 http://www.onleihe.de/wallis/frontend/mediaInfo,55-0-400613582-100-0-0-0-0-0-0-0.html Accès réservé - Netzabhängiger Zugriff SWISSBIB 325446709
