Durante miles de años, los seres humanos han perdido sus posesiones y han arrojado su basura en el río Támesis, convirtiéndolo en el yacimiento arqueológico más largo y variado del mundo. Para los entendidos, los tramos fangosos ofrecen un vínculo tangible con el pasado, una conexión con el mundo natural y un oasis de calma en una ciudad caótica.Lara Maiklem dejó el campo por Londres a los veinte años. Atraída inicialmente por la ciudad, pronto se encontró a la deriva, añorando el consuelo que había conocido al crecer entre la naturaleza.En las orillas del Támesis descubrió el mudlarking: el acto de hurgar en el barro en busca de objetos desechados por generaciones anteriores de londinenses. Durante los siguientes quince años sus días se dictados por las mareas y los dedicaría a ellas en busca de los objetos que el río desenterraba: desde pedernales neolíticos a horquillas romanas, hebillas de zapatos medievales a botones de los Tudor, pipas de arcilla georgianas a medallas de guerra desechadas.Desde el origen de las mareas del río en el oeste de la ciudad hasta su desembocadura en el mar en el este, Mudlarking es la historia del Támesis y sus gentes a través de estos objetos. Una fascinante búsqueda de la paz a través de la soledad y la historia que recupera las voces de muchos londinenses que habían sido olvidados.Mudlarking es un híbrido de memorias personales, historia de Londres y un gabinete literario de curiosidades que te lleva a un viaje por la marea del Támesis, contando la historia del río, la ciudad y las alondras que trabajan en la orilla a través de más de 2.000 años de objetos perdidos y desechados.
