Beschreibung

"The old men say their fathers told them that soon after the fields were left to themselves a change began to be visible." After an apocalyptic event has decimated London, Richard Jeffries tells how England returns to a state of nature and surviving people live in a society pretty much the same as the Middle ages. Written in 1885, this novel is one of the most important early examples of "post-apocalyptic fiction". This premium edition comes with a beautiful Easy-to-Read layout which makes reading comfortable.

Autor

Richard Jefferies was an English writer, renowned for his nature writing and his insightful portrayal of rural life in England. Born on November 6, 1848, in Coate Water, near Swindon, his childhood spent on a small farm in Wiltshire profoundly influenced his works. These experiences served as the foundation for many of his major literary contributions, including essays, books on natural history, and novels. Jefferies writing often reflects the beauty and complexity of the natural world, as well as the relationship between humans and their environment. His works, such as The Gamekeeper and Bevis, explore these themes in depth, offering vivid depictions of English landscapes and rural customs. Jefferies personal life was marked by his marriage to Jessie Baden in 1874, with whom he had a family. Despite his early death at the age of 38 in 1887 from tuberculosis, his influence on nature writing remains significant. Jefferies' ability to convey the majesty of nature and the quiet rhythms of rural life has left a lasting legacy in English literature. His reflections on nature, life, and the changing countryside continue to resonate with readers and environmental writers today.
