Arctic Dreams

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"The Arctic dreamland seen and described by a writer of rare perception and poetic descriptive power... The pages sparkle with Arctic light" -- David Stephen * Scotsman * "A marvellous evocation of the Arctic by a naturalist, who is part poet... A magical book to read slowly and savour" -- Gillian Somerville-Large * Irish Times * "Barry Lopez by some rare magic manages to combine a poetic vision with accuracy of observation; and although he writes mainly about Eskimos, polar bears, and other denizens of the frozen north, many of his perceptive insights apply the world over" -- Paula Johnson * Mail on Sunday * "Dazzling... Treats the distant, snowy world of the Arctic as a place that exists not only in the mathematics of geography but also in the terra incognita of our imaginations" -- Michiko Kakutani * New York Times * "By what comes close to sheer magic, the magic of a highly literate and perceptive naturalist, Barry Lopez has transformed the austerity and Sibelius-like gloom of the tundra and great ice walls into a living pageant of high latitudes. This book will become a classic within its genre" * John Hillaby *
