Krátky popis
Oozing with bad airs, boggarts and other spirits, the world's
marshes and swamps are often seen as sinister, permanently twilit -
and only partly of this earth. For centuries, they - and their
inhabitants - have been the object of our distrust. We have tried
to drain away their demons and tame them, destroying their fragile
beauty, botany and birdlife, along with the carefully calibrated
lives of those who have come to understand and thrive in them.In
Swamp Songs, Tom Blass journeys through a series of such watery
landscapes, from Romney Marsh to North Carolina, from Lapland to
the Danube Delta and on to the Bay of Bengal, encountering those
whose very existence has been shaped by wetlands, their myths and
hidden histories. Here are tales of shepherds, smugglers and
salt-gatherers, of mangroves and machismo, frogs and fishermen. And
of carp soup, tiger gods, flamingos and floods.A dazzling
exploration of lives lived on the fringes of civilisation, Swamp
Songs is a vital reappraisal and vibrant celebration of people and
environments closely intertwined.
