{"product_id":"green-mansions-w-h-hudson-9781585679485","title":"Green Mansions","description":"\u003cb\u003eLavishly illustrated with 60 drawings by Keith Henderson, W.H. Hudson's most famous novel, \u003ci\u003eGreen Mansions\u003c\/i\u003e, is the book that sparked the nature conservation movement. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The inspiration for the movie starring Audrey Hepburn, \u003ci\u003eGreen Mansions\u003c\/i\u003e stunningly recreates the untouched forests of South America with amazing detail. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After a failed revolution, Abel is forced to seek refuge in the virgin forests of southwestern Venezuela. There, in his \"green mansion,\" Abel meets the wood-nymph Rima, the last of a reclusive aboriginal race. The bird-girl's ethereal presence captivates him completely, but the love that blossoms is soon darkened by cruelty and sorrow. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Exploring a love somewhere between reality and imagination, \u003ci\u003eGreen Mansions\u003c\/i\u003e is a poignant meditation on the loss of wilderness, the dream of a return to nature, and the bitter reality of the encounter between savage and civilized man. A master of natural history writing, W.H. Hudson forms a link between 19th-century Romanticism and the 20th-century ecological movement. First published in 1904, \u003ci\u003eGreen Mansions\u003c\/i\u003e owes much of its success to the mystic, near-religious feelings that pervade the story. Hudson's halting, poetic expressions combined with his descriptions of untouched, natural beauty make the novel as powerful a call back to nature today as it was more than 100 years ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
