As the evenings draw in - a time of reckoning, rest and restoration - immerse yourself in this new seasonal anthology. Nature Tales for Winter Nights puts winter - rural, wild and urban - under the microscope and reveals its wonder. From the late days of autumn, through deepest cold, and towards the bright hope of spring, here is a collection of familiar names and dazzling new discoveries. Join the naturalist Linnaeus travelling on horseback in Lapland, witness frost fairs on the Thames and witch-hazel harvesting in Connecticut, experience Alpine adventure, polar bird myths and courtship in the snow in classical Japan and ancient Rome. Observations from Beth Chatto's garden and Tove Jansson's childhood join company with artists' private letters, lines from Anne Frank's diary and fireside stories told by indigenous voices. A hibernation companion, this book will transport you across time and country this winter. Praise for Fifty Words for Snow, a Waterstones Book of the Month: 'Absolutely exquisite. This little book is a work of art.'

Jedinečná cesta za objavovaním snehu v rozmanitých kultúrach Sneh robí známe miesto cudzím, prepisuje realitu, na určitý čas zakrýva, odieva, očisťuje alebo zastavuje krajinu. Tlmí. Zahaľuje. Snehová vločka, ktorá dopadne na vrchol pohoria v Afrike, sa môže roztopiť a vypariť a neskôr opäť zamrznúť a spadnúť na jabloňové sady v Kašmíre a opäť sa roztopiť a spadnúť ešte najmenej päťdesiat ráz. Práve tak jedno slovo pre sneh ponúka prístup k novým miestam, cestu porozumenia, po ktorej sa treba vydať. Každý jazyk má svoje vlastné výrazy pre páperové vločky, ktoré sa znášajú z oblohy. Spisovateľka a cestovateľka po Arktíde Nancy Campbell načiera hlboko do významov päťdesiatich slov pre sneh, pričom každé z nich ponúka celý svet mýtov a príbehov. Päťdesiat slov pre sneh je cesta za objavovaním snehu v kultúrach po celom svete prostredníctvom rôznych jazykov. Hoci mnohé z jazykov v tejto knihe, napríklad španielčinu či urdčinu, možno počuť po celom svete, iné, napríklad inupiacký dialekt z Walesu na Aljaške, si pamätajú najmä starší ľudia v relatívne malých komunitách.
