书籍简介

生活在人类建造的世界里是什么感觉?这八个融合了不同类型的故事揭示了野生动物的复杂性、美丽和脆弱——这是对《沃特沃斯庄园》和《水獭塔卡》等经典作品的精彩现代改编。

一只吃着从伦敦东区垃圾箱里捡来的意大利辣香肠披萨长得很强壮的狐狸，沿着铁轨翩翩起舞，奔向埃塞克斯——野狐狸和更狂野的猎人的领地。

一头逆戟鲸，在斯凯岛西部的山谷里哀悼她失去的母亲，知道她现在须以女族长的身份领导鲸群。她又一次游过了她的童年，想起了那些几千年前铺设的老路、老路。但是旧的路现在不那么容易走了。

月出之时，西部乡村的一条河上，一只水獭慢慢地漂向下游。潮汐虽然在呼气时把他推向陆地，但在吸气时却似乎把他拉了出来。他转过身来。他初次能清楚地看到星星，想知道他是否能游向它们。

大自然从未停止等待。它只是一直在流亡，就在我们的眼皮底下，等待着混淆、愤怒和重新迷惑。

What is it like to live in a world built by humans? These eight genre-blending stories reveal the complexity, beauty and fragility of wild lives - a brilliantly modern twist on classics like Watership Down and Tarka the Otter.

A fox, grown strong on pepperoni pizza from the dustbins of the East End, dances along a railway track towards Essex, the territory of wild foxes and wilder huntsmen.

An orca, mourning the loss of her mother in a valley west of Skye, knows that she must now lead the pod as matriarch. She swims again through her childhood, thinking about the old ways, the old roads, laid down thousands of years ago. But the old roads aren't so easy now.

At moonrise in a West Country river, an otter floats slowly downstream. The tide, though it pushes him landwards when it exhales, seems to pull him out when it inhales. He turns on his back. He can see the stars clearly for the first time and wonders if he can swim to them.

The wild has never stopped waiting. It has only ever been in exile, right under our noses, waiting to confound, outrage and re-enchant.
