Richard Jefferies

    6. november 1848 – 14. august 1887

    Richard Jefferies bol plodným autorom, ktorého diela sa ponorili do prírodného sveta, vidieckeho života a poľnohospodárstva neskoroviktoriánskeho Anglicka. Jeho písanie však presahuje pouhé pozorovanie, zachytáva estetické a duchovné hĺbky ľudského stretnutia s prírodou, čo sa pre neho stalo takmer posadnutosťou. Okrem svojho realizmu bol aj vizionárom, ktorý skúmal zvláštne futuristické fantázie a mystické koncepty, ktoré rezonujú aj dnes. Jeho schopnosť vyjadriť krásu a pokoj prírodného sveta, od jemných detailov flóry a fauny až po ohromujúcu rozlohu kozmu, zanechala nezmazateľnú stopu v literatúre a inšpirovala budúce generácie autorov svojou jedinečnou citlivosťou a hlbokým vnútorným prebudením.

    • Whiz! Away it went, bend first, and rose against the wind till the impetus ceased, when it hung a moment on the air, and slid to the right, falling near the summer-house. Next time it turned to the left, and fell in the hedge; another time it hit the hay-rick: nothing could make it go straight. Mark tried his hardest, and used it both ways, but in vain--the boomerang rose against the wind, and, so far, acted properly, but directly the force with which it was thrown was exhausted, it did as it liked, and swept round to the left or the right, and never once returned to their feet.
