Hardback. Condición: Good. A splendid anthology that began as a sellout issue of Antaeus more than a decade ago, this completely revised and expanded edition is larger by half than its forebear -- reflecting the virtual explosion of great writing on nature that has taken place in the interim. Twenty-seven writers from a wide range of disciplines have added to the original roster of contributors. Whether it's Julia Blackburn describing the disappearance of a paradise called St. Helena's between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, David Quammen describing twentieth century "Rattlesnake Passion," David Abrams introducing us to local magic in Indonesia, or Terry Tempest Williams locking horns with her family over the Endangered Species Act, the subject of Nature is no longer limited to contemplative pastorales. Without a doubt, some of the most exciting work being written late in the twentieth century is about nature and natural histo as we begin again to assess the serious question of how humankind is part of nature, and how nature expresses itself through us. The Nature Reader brings the foremost writers in the field -- Barry Lopez, Gary Snyder, Annie Dillard, Edward Abbey, Edward Hoagland, Peter Matthiessen, John McPhee, Edward O. Wilson, David Quammen -- together with well-known poets and fiction writers such as Elizabeth Bishop, Italo Calvino, Richard Ford, John Fowles, Cormac McCarthy, and Gabriel García Márquez. The juxtapositions yield unexpected delights and make The Nature Reader a singular contribution to the field of nature writing. Edited by Daniel Halpern and Dan Frank, The Nature Reader includes an illuminating reading list of important works of natural history annotated by a distinguished group of advisory editors: Annie Dillard, Gretel Erlich, Jim Harrison, John Hay, Edward Hoagland, Barry, Lopez, David Quammen, and Terry Tempest Williams. …

Leinen. Condición: Gut. 1st. british edition. 205x135 mm. 173 p., Hardcover, original Cloth w./ dustjacket. Sprache: Englisch, Good conditions. Dustjacket: lightly worn and faded. USADO / GEBRAUCHT / USED. «In 1971 Borges was invited to preside over a series of seminars on his writing at Columbia University. This book is a record of those seminars, which took the form of informal discussions between Borges, Norman Thomas di Giovanni, his editor and translator, Frank MacShane, head of the department of creative writing at Columbia, and the students. The book is divided into three separate sectionson prose, poetry, and translation. The prose seminar is based on a line-by-line discussion of one of Borges' most distinctive stories, 'The End of the Duel'. Borges explains how he wrote the story, his use of local knowledge, and his characteristic method of relating violent events in a precise and ironic way. From this close analysis of his methods he is drawn- into illuminating general observations on the role of the writer and the function of literature. The poetry section starts with some general remarks by Borges on the need for form and structure and goes on to a close look at four recent Borges poems. The last section, on translation, is particularly interesting. Borges' reputation has spread only gradually to the English-speaking world and hence many of his works written in the 1930s and 1940s are only now being published in translation. The discussion here, led by di Giovanni, is an exciting record of how the art and culture of one country can be translated into the language of another. It shows the way in which the translation of Borges' work is part of a constant process of development, not rigid or sacred to the original, but subject to continual testing and experiment with new words, phrases, and tonal colouring. Borges is probably the supreme verbal craftsman alive today. This book provides a revealing insight into the inspiration and method of his writing.» [Borges+essays+writing+argentinian literature+latinamaricna literature+seminars+columbia university].…
