A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Green Mansions, The Purple Land, and all those other books which have meant so much to me. For of all living authors now that Tolstoi has gone I could least dispense with W. H. Hudson. Why do I love his writing so? I think because he is, of living writers that I read, the rarest spirit, and has the clearest gift of conveying to me the nature of that spirit. Writers are to their readers little new worlds to be explored; and each traveller in the realms of literature must needs have a favourite hunting ground, which, in his good will or perhaps merely in his egoism he would wish others to share with im. rT he great and abiding misfortunes of most of us writers are twofold: We are, as worlds, rather common tramping ground for our readers, rather tame territory; and as guides and dragomans thereto we are too superficial, lacking clear intimacy of expression; in fact like guide or dragoman we cannot let folk into the real secrets, or show them the spirit, of the land.
