Green Mansions a Romance of the Tropical Forest (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169283220)

Green Mansions is a romantic novel set in the tropical forests of South America, written by W.H. Hudson. The story follows the adventures of Abel, a young man who has fled from his past in order to find peace and solace in the lush, untamed wilderness. While exploring the jungle, Abel encounters Rima, a mysterious and beautiful young woman who lives in a treehouse deep in the forest. Despite their different backgrounds and cultures, Abel and Rima quickly form a deep and intense bond, and their relationship becomes the focal point of the novel. As they navigate the dangers and challenges of the jungle, they must also confront the prejudices and misunderstandings of the outside world, which threatens to tear them apart. With its lush descriptions of the natural world and its exploration of themes such as love, identity, and the clash of cultures, Green Mansions is a classic tale of adventure and romance that has captivated readers for generations.But at length, one night, without thinking of Rima's fearful end, it all at once occurred to me that the hated savage whose blood I had shed on the white savannah might have only been practicing his natural deceit when he told me that most pitiful story. If that were so--if he had been prepared with a fictitious account of her death to meet my questions--then Rima might still exist.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
