Beschreibung

¿Marta Riquelme¿ is a short story by Argentinian writer William Hudson. Part of his ¿South American Romances¿ series, this volume is not to be missed by those with an interest in south American culture and folklore in general. William Henry Hudson (1841¿1922) was an Argentinian ornithologist and nature writer. Other notable works by this author include: ¿Argentine Ornithology¿ (1888-1899), ¿British Birds¿ (1895), and ¿Hampshire Day¿ (1903). This interesting tale is highly recommended for fans of Hudson's work, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Not to be missed by those who have read and enjoyed others in the series. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Autor

W. H. Hudson was a British biologist, ornithologist, and author who lived from 1841 to 1922. Hudson, who was born in Argentina to British parents, spent a large portion of his youth travelling and learning about the flora and animals of South America. In his early twenties, he came to England and took a job as a clerk. Despite this, he continued to write about nature and in 1892, "The Naturalist in La Plata," his first book, was published. After that, Hudson published numerous other books about the natural environment, including "British Birds" and "Idle Days in Patagonia." He is most well-known, however, for his books, including "Green Mansions" and "The Purple Land," which merged his love of the outdoors with his prowess as a writer. The grandeur and mystique of the wilderness were beautifully and evocatively captured in Hudson's writing, which was praised for its in-depth and evocative depictions of the natural environment. He was also a forerunner in the conservation movement and a proponent of preserving endangered species' habitats.
