Nightfaring
Autor Megan Eaves-Egenesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2026
In Nightfaring, travel writer and ‘dark sky’ advocate Megan Eaves travels the world to better understand our deep connection with the night sky. Finding solace in the stars at a time of difficulty in her own life, she embarks on a journey that takes her from New Zealand to Uzbekistan, Italy to Japan, Germany to the Himalaya, exploring the many ways that we have depended on, feared and mythologised darkness culturally and historically. The constellations have guided humankind in navigation and husbandry since the very earliest cultures, yet as nocturnal cities bleach our skies and that deep knowledge is lost, are we also losing our connection with the wild, with stillness, with the possibility that self-knowledge and healing can come from darkness, too?
Blending travel and nature writing with history and self-discovery, Nightfaring is a profound and often startling journey through darkness and the endangered night.

'Dark sky advocate Eaves-Egenes . . . tells stories not of the stars but of the night and its people in remote, dark places from Ireland to Italy via Tanzania, Japan and her native New Mexico. Her adventures reveal Western culture as dangerously allergic to darkness — cue the intensifying light pollution in cities — but also how only at night can we reevaluate, reset and renew. There's a deep love of the night sky woven into every sentence, and a powerful lesson for humanity as it fakes a nocturnal existence: only in the stillness of night can we see the light'
'Nightfaring is an invitation to explore how the night sky connects us – to the past, to ourselves, to the planet and to the cosmos. Through rich storytelling and deeply reported histories, Megan leads us on a raw, multisensory journey into the less-trodden nocturnal world. This introspective read is a push to reimagine our relationship to the night ... It's also a reminder that travel, when done well, can be life's greatest teacher'
'Mixing myth and history with the latest science, Eaves weaves her story with clear, insightful prose, offering an entertaining journey into the darkness that is so vital for life on earth and so easily forgotten. Nightfaring reminds us of all that being in the dark brings alive and allows, what we lose when we overuse artificial light, and the good wildness that makes the night so key to our wellbeing'
‘A truly powerful paean to the night sky offering a kaleidoscopic mix of science, adventure, spirituality, psychology and insights into our inner lives and deepest fears'
‘From Uzbek observatories to Guaraní fire blessings, Maori star compasses to Irish banshees, Nightfaring is an engaging and illuminating exploration of our relationship with darkness and the night sky. A thoughtful, perceptive and insightful writer, Megan Eaves-Egenes will change the way you look at the stars’
'Megan Eaves-Egenes readers on a journey around the world to reveal what we’re collectively missing out on under the influence of artificial light. In captivating scenes that take place in Tanzania, New Zealand, Japan and a variety of other locales, Eaves-Egenes explores the importance of natural darkness for diverse ecosystems – and her own health – as she reminds readers that, even though we’re collectively turning on too many lights, natural darkness is still our shared home'
