Alfred Wainwright

    Alfred Wainwright bol samouk, ktorý sa preslávil svojimi sprievodcami po Lake District. Jeho diela sa vyznačujú precíznym a detailným kresleným obsahom, ktorý zdieľa jeho hlbokú vášeň pre krajinu. Wainwrightove knihy nie sú len mapy, ale sú to ľúbostné listy horám, ktoré zachytávajú ich majestátnosť a pokoj. Jeho jedinečný štýl a oddanosť prírode z neho robia inšpiratívnu postavu pre milovníkov outdoorových aktivít aj literatúry.

      Limestone country covers the north of England areas of the Yorkshire Dales and Pennine Spur. It is a landscape full of green fields and grey stone walls, limestone pavements - such as at Malham Cove - and limestone scars. The book recalls many walks there that the author has made, which he wrote about in his book walks in the limestone country. This book is illustrated with colour photographs by Ed Geldard.

    • Wainwright has selected 20 of Lakeland's principal fells which have the status of mountains and rather than describing a walk up, around and down each, his copy is more a celebration of each - he describes the particular attributes of each, the views from each top, and any outliers which have particular merit. Derry Brabb's photographs complement his text superbly.

    • A. Wainwright finished this, his last book, shortly before his death in January 1991. As his eyesight failed, Wainwright relied on his memories of the landscape he loved. This book is full of personal reminiscences of happy explorations in the days when Lakeland had fewer visitors.Wainwright travels through 42 principal valleys and their side valleys, from the best known and most beautiful to the lesser known or more remote valleys. Throughout he finds happiness in nature, which is disturbed only when he perceives man's negative effect on the landscape.
