Krátky popis
Darkness has shaped the lives of humans for millennia, and in Dark
Skies, author Tiffany Francis travels around Britain and Europe to
learn more about nocturnal landscapes and humanity's connection to
the night sky. Over the course of a year, Tiffany travels through
different nightscapes across the UK and beyond. She experiences
24-hour daylight while swimming in the Gulf of Finland and visits
Norway to witness the Northern Lights and speak to people who live
in darkness for three months each year.She hikes through the
haunted yew forests of Kingley Vale, embarks on a nocturnal sail
down the River Dart, feeds foxes on a south London estate, and
listens to nightjars churring on a Sussex heathland. As she
travels, Tiffany delves into the history of the ancient rituals and
seasonal festivals that for thousands of years humans have linked
with the light and dark halves of our year. How has our
relationship with darkness and the night sky changed over time? How
have we used stars and other cosmic phenomena to tell stories about
our lives and the land around us? In this beautifully written
nature narrative, Tiffany Francis explores nocturnal landscapes and
investigates how our experiences of the night-time world have
permeated our history, folklore, science, geography, art and
literature.
