Once Upon a Raven's Nest - Catrina Davies - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''This is a rich, beautiful and deeply moving book'' GEORGE MONBIOT ''I loved this book'' CLOVER STROUD Once Upon a Raven''s Nest is the story of a working class man, one Thomas Hedley of Exmoor, and of the planet during the period of its great acceleration towards the current climate emergency.Born in 1955 to a poor family in Devon Thomas refused to conform. His fierce independence, recklessness and contrariness led not only to scrapes and self-inflicted dangers but to a life enriched by the love of women. Catrina Davies came to know him in his last years and has given his life and times in his own words, creating a rich, pungent language in a knowing, poetic and poignant voice.We learn of his accumulation of engines, tools and guns, the complexity of his connection to nature, the animals he loved and his desire to hunt them. He recounts the terrible consequences of his fatal attraction to risk and machinery which led to his being paralysed for the last years of his life, confined to a wheelchair, hopelessly dependent but still watching, noticing, recording, loving the world.The narrative is interwoven with a sequence of factual entries that chart the impending climate catastrophe and the consequences of our collective choices to ignore the warning of an environment on the verge of collapse. Once Upon A Raven''s Nest is an unforgettable history of a life that is almost lost and an account of the destruction man has wrought on the earth in the time that Hedley worked the land. ''Stunning. Urgent. Unforgettable'' TANYA SHADRICK ''This has the unmistakable smell of a classic'' CHARLES FOSTER

*THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* *ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE''S MUST-READ BOOKS OF 2019* *WITH NEW & EXCLUSIVE AFTERWORD* ''Addictive ... a jaw-dropping read'' STYLIST ''Explosive ... Definitely one for the beach'' ELLE ''Paints a fascinating picture of an eccentric egomaniac who rails against all authority ... gripping stuff'' SUNDAY TIMES ___________ How does it feel to be betrayed by your closest friend? A close friend who turns out to be the most prolific grifter in New York City...This is the true story of Anna Delvey (real name Anna Sorokin), the fake heiress whose dizzying deceit and elaborate con-artistry deceived the Soho hipster scene before her ruse was finally and dramatically exposed.After meeting through mutual friends, the ''Russian heiress'' Anna Delvey and Rachel DeLoache Williams soon became inseparable. Theirs was an intoxicating world of endless excess: high dining, personal trainer sessions, a luxury holiday ... and Anna footed almost every bill.But after Anna''s debit card was declined in a Moroccan medina whilst on holiday in a five-star luxury resort, Rachel began to suspect that her increasingly mysterious friend was not all she seemed.This is the incredible story of how Anna Sorokin conned the high-rollers of the NYC social scene and convinced her close friend of an entirely concocted fantasy, the product of falsified bank documents, bad cheques and carefully edited online photos. Written by Rachel DeLoache Williams, the Vanity Fair photography editor who believed Anna''s lies before helping the police to track her down (fittingly, deciphering Anna''s location using Instagram), this is Catch Me If You Can with Instagram filters. Between Anna, Fyre Festival''s Billy McFarland (Anna even tried to scam Billy) and Elizabeth Holmes, whose start-up app duped the high and mighty of Silicon Valley, this is the year of the scammer.
