Produktbeschreibung

"The Man Whom the Trees Loved" is a haunting and atmospheric short story written by Algernon Blackwood. First published in 1912, this tale explores the mysterious and supernatural connection between a man and the ancient trees of a forest. In "The Man Whom the Trees Loved," the protagonist, David, develops an inexplicable affinity for trees. He feels a deep spiritual connection with them and becomes increasingly withdrawn from human society. As the story progresses, the narrative delves into David's psychological and spiritual transformation, blurring the lines between reality and the unseen world. Blackwood's descriptive and evocative writing style brings the forest setting to life, immersing readers in a world of natural beauty and hidden forces. "The Man Whom the Trees Loved" explores themes of nature's power, the human connection to the natural world, and the boundary between sanity and madness.

Autorenporträt

Algernon Henry Blackwood, CBE, was an English broadcasting narrator, journalist, novelist, and short story writer, and one of the genre's most prolific writers. According to literary critic S. T. Joshi, "His work is more consistently meritorious than any weird writer's except Dunsany's" and that his short story collection Incredible Adventures (1914) "may be the premier weird collection of this or any other century". Blackwood was born at Shooter's Hill (now part of southeast London, once part of northwest Kent). Between 1871 and 1880, he lived at Crayford Manor House in Crayford and attended Wellington College. Throughout his adult life, he wrote sporadic essays for journals. In his late thirties, he came back to England and began writing spooky fiction. He was successful, having written at least eleven original collections of short stories and later broadcasting them on radio and television. He also penned 14 novels, many children's books, and a number of plays, the most of which were produced but not published. He was a huge fan of nature and the outdoors, as many of his stories show. To further his curiosity in the supernatural, he joined The Ghost Club. He never married; according to his friends, he was a recluse who also enjoyed company.
