Kelly Enright

    Kelly Enright befasst sich mit der Darstellung der Natur in der amerikanischen Kultur und den komplexen Beziehungen zwischen Mensch und Tier. Ihre Arbeit untersucht, wie die amerikanische Vorstellungskraft mit der Wildnis umgeht, und analysiert ihre Darstellungen und unsere Interaktionen mit der natürlichen Welt. Durch ihr Schreiben erforscht Enright die Verbindungen, die uns an die Wildnis fesseln, sowie den Einfluss von Institutionen wie Museen und dem Akt des Reisens auf diese Wahrnehmungen. Ihr Ansatz bietet eine einzigartige Perspektive, um die anhaltende Faszination der Wildnis zu verstehen.

    I married Adventure: The Lives of Martin and Osa Johnson
    • This classic, bestselling memoir tells of the often heart-stopping adventures of early 20th-century explorers and photographers Osa and Martin Johnson - now in a new edition featuring additional photos and personal letters from the Johnsons to friends and family. Osa Johnson's memoir details her adventures alongside her husband Martin, an explorer and pioneering photographer. These two kids from Kansas sailed to Borneo, Kenya, and the Congo in the early part of the 20th century, where, with Martin holding the camera and Osa wielding the gun, they documented the indigenous people and wildlife they encountered in groundbreaking films such as "Among the Cannibals of the South Pacific" (1918) and "Simba" (1928). Osa's engaging and exciting text is complemented by scores of the dramatic black-and-white photos that made the couple famous. After Martin's death in 1937, Osa continued their work alone, I Married Adventure was first published in 1940 and became the bestselling nonfiction book of that year.

      Rhinoceros' wildness has roots in the ancient, prehistoric and mythic. Many sightings of the rhinoceros were thought to prove the existence of the mythical unicorn, which was said to be impossible to capture alive. This title asks whether the savagery of the rhino is a reality or a legacy of its mythic past.
