William Henry Hudson

    4. srpen 1841 – 18. srpen 1922

    William Henry Hudson byl spisovatel, přírodovědec a ornitolog, jehož díla zkoumají hluboké spojení mezi člověkem a přírodou. Jeho rané zkušenosti na argentinské hranici ovlivnily jeho styl, který mísil pozorování přírodních dramat s lidskými osudy. V pozdějších letech se zaměřil na anglickou krajinu, kde s vytříbeným pozorováním zachycoval její krásu a tajemství. Hudsonův jedinečný hlas a poetický jazyk ho řadí mezi významné autory, kteří zkoumají podstatu života v přírodě i v lidské duši.
