Modern classic. The curious call of an unseen bird lures a young European explorer deeper and deeper into the jungle, where he encounters the source of the siren song - a lovely, half-wild girl with mysterious powers. Thus begins the romance between Abel, a revolutionary hiding among an Indian tribe in the Venezuelan rainforest, and Rima, who speaks the languages of birds and longs to return to the land of her birth to be reunited with others of her kind.Written by a British naturalist with a deep love and knowledge of wilderness areas, the richly coloured tale transports readers to the lush atmosphere of the Amazonian outback.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOriginally published in 1904 the title has been adapted to a radio opera (1937), a comic book series (1951) and a movie in 1959 starting Anthony Perkins and Audrey Hepburn. Other character adaption were done in the ‘70‘s by DC Comics in print and also animated film. \"Green Mansions 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 nineteenth-century Romanticism and the twentieth-century ecological movement.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n**STAR SELLER **     **  Please add my shop to your favorites to see new items!  **\u003cbr\u003e\nSmooth shipping\u003cbr\u003e\nSpeedy replies\u003cbr\u003e\nFree shipping","brand":"Etsy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46633195995334,"sku":"ET-1462102243","price":170.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/7983\/6102\/files\/il_fullxfull.4869235169_2npo.jpg?v=1785297189","url":"https:\/\/threepigeonsbookshop.com\/products\/green-mansions-william-h-hudson-1944","provider":"Three Pigeons Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
