We know that Premier Li Keqiang's wife, Ms. Cheng Hong, is an expert in natural literature, and she has translated and introduced many classics of natural literature to China, which has also made natural literature, a previously unpopular literary category, gradually attract the attention of the Chinese people.
Pay attention to nature, pay attention to our environment, and return the smog to the blue sky, what a beautiful vision!
The 5-volume series includes John Burroughs' Birds, John Muir's Waiting for the Deer to Come, Rachel Carson's Creatures on the Seashore, All Things Miracles, and Silent Spring.
Today's recommendation to you is Burroughs's Bird Chronicle (translated by Zhang Baihua). John Burroughs (1837-1921), an early American pioneer of environmental protection thought, was a well-known naturalist and writer. In the Library of Congress's "Memory of America" project, his work is called a double with Walden Lake. He wrote a rich 23-volume collection during his lifetime, the most outstanding of which was his depiction and observation of birds, plants, and rural landscapes.
Burroughs has always been known for his meticulous and beautiful observation of birds, flowers, and natural landscapes, and his writings are permeated with deep philosophical and theological reflections, inheriting the naturalistic cultural traditions of Whitman, Emerson, and Thoreau. He is particularly known for his depiction of the natural environment of the Gaskell Mountains, where he lived, embodying the local character of naturalism.
This book records the story of Burroughs's encounters with various birds, and in his delicate observations, he shows not a condescending anthropocentricism, nor an indifferent objectivity to the object of study, but a deep empathy, seeing these birds as their own kind, and can reach each other in the depths of the soul in the eyes.
Of particular note is Audubon's bird illustrations selected for the illustrations in this book.
John James Audubon is a famous American painter and naturalist, and his bird atlas is called "America's National Treasure". Audubon left countless paintings in his lifetime, each of which is not only an important material for scientific research, but also a rare masterpiece of art, and he has published two paintings, "Birds of the Americas" and "Quadrupeds of the Americas". Birds of the Americas was hailed as the greatest and most influential work of the 19th century. Audubon's work had a profound influence on wildlife painting in later generations, and at the same time, among the general public, Audubon's work also had a great influence. Really, Beauty cried.
