Bøger af Dara McAnulty

Winner of the 2020 Wainwright Prize, Diary of a Young Naturalist vividly explores the natural world from the perspective of an autistic teenager juggling homework, exams and friendships alongside his life as a conservationist and environmental activist.

En ung naturforskers dagbog er et portræt af den irske natur, af en særlig og kærlig familie og ikke mindst af et utroligt begavet og poetisk ungt menneske, der viser os, hvorfor verden er værd at kæmpe for. Den er skrevet med en opmærksom begejstring, der både forklarer og genfortryller naturens verden, mens den giver et personligt indblik i, hvordan den unge Dara McAnulty håndterer verdens almindelige problemer – flytning, skolegang og livet som aktivist. Vi kommer helt ind under huden på det, som den irske forfatter selv kalder »udfordringerne og glæderne ved at være autist«.Vi har brug for at komme tæt på naturen – og McAnulty bringer os ét skridt nærmere, så man selv får lyst til at drage ud i det vilde.
