The llace of tides wer. angielska - James Rebanks - książka
Producent: Penguin Books
From the acclaimed author of "The Shepherd's Life," comes a captivating tale of friendship, redemption, and personal discovery set against the backdrop of a remote Norwegian island. The narrative delves into the question of how far one must journey to truly find oneself. Years ago, on an isolated island in Norway, James Rebanks encountered an elderly woman who lived a solitary life. She devoted her days to caring for wild Eider ducks and collecting their precious down, carrying on a tradition that was once lucrative but had long since waned. Despite the challenges, she persisted, a resilient figure in a changing world. Rebanks couldn't shake off thoughts of the enigmatic woman who seemed both otherworldly and yet oddly recognizable. Time marched on, but her image lingered. In a moment of impulsive nostalgia, he penned a letter to her, expressing a desire to return. Her response was simple yet urgent: "Bring work clothes, sturdy boots, and come quickly," as her health was deteriorating. Thus began his journey to the arctic fringe to witness her final season on the island. The story unfolds during this pivotal season, exploring an ancient and breathtaking landscape brought to life by the woman's presence. It chronicles her laborious work, from enduring the harsh, solitary winter to reveling in the joy of endless summer days, when the birds leave their valuable feathers behind, like gold scattered in the breeze. Gradually, Rebanks realizes that both the woman and the world she inhabits defy his initial perceptions. His escape transforms into an extraordinary exploration of understanding oneself and embracing forgiveness.
