Bag om Underland

WINNER OF THE WAINWRIGHT GOLDEN BEER BOOK PRIZE 2019A Guardian Best Book of the 21st Century The highly anticipated new book from the internationally bestselling, prize-winning author of Landmarks, The Lost Words and The Old Ways ''You''d be crazy not to read this book'' The Sunday Times ''Underland is a magnificent feat of writing, travelling and thinking that feels genuinely frontier pushing, unsettling and exploratory'' Evening Standard ''Marvellous... Neverending curiosity, generosity of spirit, erudition, bravery and clarity... This is a book well worth reading'' The Times ''Extraordinary... at once learned and readable, thrilling and beautifully written'' Observer ''Attentive, thoughtful, finely honed... I turned the last page with the unusual conviction of having been in the company of a fine writer who is - who must surely be - a good man'' Telegraph ''Poetry, science, a healthy sense of the uncanny and a touch of the shamanic are the hallmarks of his writing... This is a journey that tells the story not just of nature but of human nature. And there is noone I would more gladly follow on it'' i ''Startling and memorable, charting invisible and vanishing worlds. Macfarlane has made himself Orpheus, the poet who ventures down to the darkest depths and returns - frighteningly alone-to sing of what he has seen'' New Statesman Discover the hidden worlds beneath our feet... In Underland, Robert Macfarlane takes us on a journey into the worlds beneath our feet. From the ice-blue depths of Greenland''s glaciers, to the underground networks by which trees communicate, from Bronze Age burial chambers to the rock art of remote Arctic sea-caves, this is a deep-time voyage into the planet''s past and future. Global in its geography, gripping in its voice and haunting in its implications, Underland is a work of huge range and power, and a remarkable new chapter in Macfarlane''s long-term exploration of landscape and the human heart. ''Macfarlane has invented a new kind of book, really a new genre entirely'' The Irish Times ''He is the great nature writer, and nature poet, of this generation'' Wall Street Journal ''Macfarlane has shown how utterly beautiful a brilliantly written travel book can still be'' Observer onThe Old Ways ''Irradiated by a profound sense of wonder... Few books give such a sense of enchantment; it is a book to give to many, and to return to repeatedly'' Independent on Landmarks ''It sets the imagination tingling...like reading a prose Odyssey sprinkled with imagist poems'' The Sunday Times onThe Old Ways
