Produktbeschreibung
The Amateur Poacher reflects on a young man's adventures in the rural countryside, where he embarks on poaching escapades, blending nostalgia with personal reflections. The protagonist, through vivid recollections, recalls childhood memories and his early encounters with hunting, particularly the allure of a forbidden flintlock gun. His adventures, often alongside a companion, reveal the thrills and risks of poaching, but also evoke a sense of freedom and the excitement found in nature. The narrative captures the connection between youth and the natural world, illustrating how these early experiences shape the protagonist's understanding of both self and the environment. The journey through rural landscapes is not just one of hunting but a deeper exploration of innocence, the longing for adventure, and the beauty of the untamed world. As the protagonist navigates these formative years, the story delves into the contrasts between youthful enthusiasm and the more complex world of adulthood, all while immersed in the rhythm of the natural world.
Autorenporträt
John Richard Jefferies was an English nature writer who lived from November 6, 1848, to August 14, 1887. He was famous for writing stories, essays, and books about natural history that showed how people lived in the English countryside. His childhood on a small farm in Wiltshire shaped him a lot and is the setting for all of his big works of fiction. Jefferies wrote a lot of different types of books and about a lot of different subjects. Some of his most famous works are the classic children's book Bevis (1882) and the science fiction novel After London (1885). In The Story of My Heart (1883), he goes into more depth about this work. People at the time thought of him as a nature mystic because of this work, which was an introspective look at his thoughts and feelings about the world. But what most people admire about him is how well he writes about nature and people in it, both in his fiction and in collections of essays like The Amateur Poacher (1879) and Round About a Great Estate (1880).
