A Black Fox Running
Autor Brian Carteren Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 noi 2019
This is the story of Wulfgar, the dark-furred fox of Dartmoor, and of his nemesis, Scoble the trapper, in the seasons leading up to the pitiless winter of 1947. As breathtaking in its descriptions of the natural world as it is perceptive in its portrayal of damaged humanity, it is both a portrait of place and a gripping story of survival.
Uniquely straddling the worlds of animals and men, Brian Carter's A Black Fox Running is a masterpiece: lyrical, unforgiving and unforgettable.

Recenzii
A Black Fox Running is really extraordinary, I've not read anything like it before. Balancing and melding animal and human worlds, this is a wholly immersive, vivid and magical book
A wonderful book . The prose is beautiful, and the story, though like nature pocked with horror, is beautiful too
A beautiful, brooding tale . Bleak realism is balanced by gorgeous nature writing, teeming with earthy scents and sounds, and beautiful descriptions of Dartmoor's wilderness through the seasons ... I can't get its brooding, gothic imagery out of my head
A book of strange, mesmeric power. Poised, impeccably paced and observed, and brutally unsentimental. A thrilling, urgent, almost shamanic journey into the wild - including the wilderness of our own human lives
I have never read a novel about animals and the British countryside - with the single exception of BB's The Wild Lone - which has so moved or entranced me. Never
A breathtakingly beautiful novel, this lost classic of nature writing is the book that made me a writer
For those who dream of leaving behind the noise and smells of the city and breathing the clean air and adventure of the wild ... A Black Fox Running is the thing those dreams are made of
