Description
Rachel Carson's personal favourite, Under the Sea-Wind, is a groundbreaking paean to the natural world. This early masterwork by one of America's greatest nature writers celebrates the mystery and beauty of birds and sea creatures in their natural habitat.
The book evokes the special magic of the shore and open sea, with its limitless vistas and twilight depths. Carson's astonishingly intimate portrait captures the delicate negotiations of an ingeniously calibrated ecology, making for a truly unforgettable read.
