John A. Baker lives with his wife in Essex. He has had assorted jobs, including chopping down trees and pushing book trolleys in the British Museum. In 1965 he gave up work and lived on the money he had saved, devoting all his time to his obsession - the peregrine. He re-wrote his account of this bird five times before submitting it for publication. Although he had no ornithological training and had never written a book before, when The Peregrine was published in 1967 it was received with enthusiastic reviews and praise for his lyrical prose. Later that year he was awarded the distinguished Duff Cooper prize. He was also awarded a substantial Arts Council grant. His second book, The Hill of Summer, was published in 1969 and was also received with unanimous praise by the critics.

From fall to spring, J.A. Baker set out to track the daily comings and goings of a pair of peregrine falcons across the flat fen lands of eastern England. He followed the birds obsessively, observing them in the air and on the ground, in pursuit of their prey, making a kill, eating, and at rest, activities he describes with an extraordinary fusion of precision and poetry. And as he continued his mysterious private quest, his sense of human self slowly dissolved, to be replaced with the alien and implacable consciousness of a hawk.

It is this extraordinary metamorphosis, magical and terrifying, that these beautifully written pages record.

读后感

《游隼》一本写鹰的书。是一个作家用自己优美的文字,描写游隼日常生活的说科研不科研,说日记不日记,说升华又没多升华的复合体。看这本书让我想起好多曾经看过的科研类“散文”,比如《一平方英寸的寂静》《狗的家世》等等。 我相信很多人可以通过阅读这本书,找到他不同于其...

距离游隼最近的一次,是在旅顺的某处内湾,或者称之为内海会更准确。此为咸淡水交汇之所,涨潮时海水涌入湾内,鸥鹭逐潮而来,翔集栖止。单凭回忆,我无法复原出完整的场景,只记得湾内有人工建造的堤坝,在正午时分反射出白垩色的光,令人厌倦、瞌睡。 正在观察如白卵石堆一般...

1966年的一天,一位中年人走进了一家伦敦出版商的办公室,拿出了厚厚的四百页的书稿,书稿的内容是有关他对自然的深爱——对游隼的痴迷。那时,没有人认识这位已经不惑之年的写作者。他叫John Alec Baker(1926-1987),土生土长于埃塞克斯的切尔姆斯福特郡,没有接受过高等教...

英文看得还蛮吃力的,关键其实蛮枯燥的,十年如一日观察同一种鸟。适合鸟类爱好者。中译本好评如潮是因为翻译好,有诗意的享受。但英文只有偶尔的迷离、与隼的对峙比较有意思,绝大部分都只是语言科学般的精确。对了,对照鸟书的英文索引看还不错,游隼猎物一览!哈哈哈。

一本非常文艺,非常素淡的书

听完有声书,比想象中要残酷一些(不乏血腥场面的描写)| 非常有共鸣的一本书,也想像Baker观察游隼那样从观察一棵树到成为一棵树
