Though people generally do not think of them in such terms, crows are remarkably graceful: from the tip of a crow's beak to the end of its tail is a single curve, which changes rhythmically as the crow turns its head or bends toward the ground. Foraging on their long, powerful legs, crows appear to glide over the earth; they take flight almost without effort, flapping their wings easily, ascending into the air like spirits. Nevertheless, the whiskers around their beaks and an apparent smile make crows, in a scruffy sort of way, endearingly 'human'. In a vast range of cultures from the Chinese to the Hopi Indians, crows are bearers of prophecy. Because of their courtship dances and monogamous unions, the Greeks invoked crows at weddings as symbols of conjugal love. Crows are among the most ubiquitous of birds, yet, without being in the least exotic, they remain mysterious. This book is a survey of crows, ravens, magpies and their relatives in myth, literature and life. It ranges from the raven sent out by Noah to the corvid deities of the Eskimo, to Taoist legends, Victorian novels and contemporary films. It will be of interest to all people who have ever been intrigued, puzzled, annoyed or charmed by these wonderfully intelligent birds.
在我们所熟悉的鸟类中,乌鸦可能是争议最多、遭受误解最大的一种。这在我们的日常用语中都能看出点端倪:一个人嘴巴臭、预言坏事,常被称作“乌鸦嘴”;但与此同时,却也有“爱屋及乌”的成语,这与更早的典故“瞻乌之望”,其实原本都指乌鸦集于屋乃是吉兆,故有“乌鸦报喜,...
評分终于有一本以乌鸦为主角的科普向读物了!乌鸦作为预言和厄运的象征一直在各种文学和影视作品中占据着重要的地位,特别是以中世纪为题材的的作品中乌鸦成为了其中不可或缺的元素。作者从地域和时间两个方向出发,对乌鸦本身以及关于乌鸦的文化进行了介绍。 鸦科鸟类可能起源于现...
評分嗜书,是一种瘾。日渐沉迷,而我不愿戒断。 有些书,端凝如长者;有些书,亲切如挚友;有些书,要在长久的相处中,才能觉得他的好;还有些书,第一眼,就意乱神迷。揭开面纱之后,他们袒露灵魂,有些渐次乏味,外在的妍丽无法支撑内在的干瘪;少有的几次幸运,那简直是,仿佛啜...
評分读书时发现的一些疑问,放上来一同鉴别: P46 “女神曾去拜访为众神打铁的工匠赫菲斯托斯,他却企图强暴雅典娜。女神虽然躲开了赫菲斯托斯的非礼,但令雅典娜恶心的是,她发现赫菲斯托斯在自己的一条腿上留下了精液。女神连忙用一块羊毛织物把它擦掉,并随手扔在地上。地母...
評分在唐代以前,乌鸦在中国民俗文化中是有吉祥和预言作用的神鸟,根据《山海经》等古籍的记述,中国远古时代太阳神话传说中的十日是帝俊与羲和的儿子,它们既有人与神的特征,又是金乌的化身,是长有三足的踆乌,会飞翔的太阳神鸟。如《山海经·大荒南经》中有“羲和者,帝俊之妻...
