"Pilgrimsfalken är en av litteraturhistoriens bästa böcker i den genre som har kommit att kallas nature writing. Hemligheten är en kombination av ornitologisk exakthet och poetisk råstyrka." Fredrik Sjöberg, SVENSKA DAGBLADET "En glimrande poetiskt färgad prosa om lufthavets obestridlige suverän, Pilgrimsfalken." Göran Kastlund, DALA-DEMOKRATEN "Måtte nya generationer upptäcka och läsa mästerverket." Arne Ohlsson, TIDSKRIFTEN ANSER "Omistlig fågelbok. Hjälper oss att se vår värld." Bengt Söderhäll, ARBETARBLADET "Närmare än så här går det knappast att komma en levande varelse... En fullkomligt magisk nyöversättning..." Aase Berg, DAGENS NYHETER J A Bakers mästerverk Pilgrimsfalken (The Peregrine) i nyöversättning av Andreas Vesterlund och med efterord av Jonas Ellerström. Vi följer författaren när han under ett vinterhalvår (oktober till april) spanar efter den skyggaste och skickligaste av rovfåglar. Han strövar omkring i det engelska kustlandskapet med sin kikare. Det gäller att förflytta sig omärkligt genom vegetationen eftersom pilgrimsfalkar är oerhört observanta och registrerar minsta detalj som förändras i det milsvida synfältet. Även falkens bytesfåglar är vaksamma. När en falk närmar sig lyfter andra fåglar från marken och flyr för sina liv. De flesta klarar sig men inte alla. Plötsligt slår han till, i luften. Störtdyker mot en duva, mås eller vipa, dödar den omedelbart genom ett hugg i en halskota och landar med den på den utvalda platsen för dagens sparsmakade måltid. J A Baker var totalt okänd som författare när han skickade manuskriptet om sitt envisa falkskådande till ett förlag i London. Boken kom ut 1967, har allt sedan dess tryckts i otaliga upplagor och har genom sina detaljerade skildringar blivit något av en kultbok för naturvänner. Därtill är Bakers sätt att berätta så skickligt, så gestaltande att boken idag dessutom betraktas som en litterär klassiker. Nyöversättning av Andreas Vesterlund. Efterord av Jonas Ellerström. "Nature writing at its absolute best." THE GUARDIAN "One of the finest works on nature ever written." BBC WILDLIFE Pilgrimsfalkar är så skygga och så på sin vakt att de är hart när omöjliga att få syn på, men Baker har tålamod. Han sätter sig i sinnet att han ska komma falken närmare. "Falkar sover lätt. De vaknar av att ett löv rör sig i vinden, av det vajande gräsets viskning, av skuggor som förlängs och försvinner. De är rymlingar som flytt från allt utom fruktan." Pilgrimsfalken av J A Baker. Nyöversättning av Andreas Vesterlund, efterord av Jonas Ellerström. ISBN 978-91-7742-567-0. Högkvalitetspapper, sydda ark, mjuka pärmar med flikar. 224 sidor.

Reissue of J. A. Baker’s extraordinary classic of British nature writingDespite the association of peregrines with the wild, outer reaches of the British Isles, The Peregrine is set on the flat marshes of the Essex coast, where J A Baker spent a long winter looking and writing about the visitors from the uplands – peregrines that spend the winter hunting the huge flocks of pigeons and waders that share the desolate landscape with them.Including original diaries from which The Peregrine was written and its companion volume The Hill of Summer, this is a beautiful compendium of lyrical nature writing at its absolute best. Such luminaries as Richard Mabey, Robert Macfarlane, Ted Hughes and Andrew Motion have cited this as one of the most important books in 20th Century nature writing, and the bestselling author Mark Cocker has provided an introduction on the importance of Baker, his writings and the diaries – creating the essential volume of Baker's writings.Papers, maps, and letters have recently come to light which in turn provide a little more background into J A Baker’s history. Contemporaries – particularly from his time at school in Chelmsford – have provided insights, remembering a school friend who clearly made an impact on his generation.Among fragments of letters to Baker was one from a reader who praised a piece that Baker had written in RSPB Birds magazine in 1971. Apart from a paper on peregrines which Baker wrote for the Essex Bird Report, this article – entitled On the Essex Coast – appears to be his only other published piece of writing, and, with the agreement of the RSPB, it has been included in this updated new paperback edition of Baker’s astounding work.
