当Helen Macdonald的父亲在伦敦街头猝逝时，她悲痛欲绝。作为一名经验丰富的驯鹰人，Helen以往从未动念驯养苍鹰这种最凶残的捕食者之一，但在巨大的悲痛中，她发现苍鹰凶猛原始的习性正是自己内心的写照。为了化解丧亲之痛，她决心买下并抚养这只致命生灵，她收养了Mabel，并求助于《The Once and Future King》作者T.H. White的纪实著作《The Goshawk》来开启这段极具挑战性的征程。将自己“代入苍鹰的野性心智中去驯服它”考验着她的极限

……我 2021 年的最爱之一：* John Steinbeck 的《East of Eden》。Steinbeck 优美地捕捉并通过两个随时间交织在一起的家庭生活，展现了老美国的文化。* Helen Macdonald 的《H is for Hawk》。Macdonald 这本书一部分是自传（讲述如何应对抑郁症），一部分是 T. H. White（写出著名的《石中剑》）的传记，还有一小部分是关于驯鹰的入门指南。* 《The……
…of my favorites from 2021: * East of Eden by John Steinbeck. Steinbeck beautifully captures and shares the culture of old America through the lives of two families that become interwoven over time. * H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald. Macdonald's book is part auto-biography (dealing with depression), part biography on T. H. White (of Sword in the Stone's fame), and lightly part guide on caring for hawks. * The…
……来自西方视角之外的声音。这是三部曲之一：《黑暗森林》的英译本已经出了，《死神永生》明年初上。还很喜欢 Stephenson 的《Seveneves》，以及 Helen Macdonald 的《H is for Hawk》。前者 HN 圈子里的人估计都很熟；后者常被拿来与 T.H. White 的经典《The Goshawk》相提并论。非虚构类里，我挺喜欢 Friedman 和……写的《The Little Prover》
…coming from outside the Western perspective. It's one of a trilogy: The Dark Forest english translation is out, and Death's End is coming beginning of next year. Also enjoyed Seveneves by Stephenson, and H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald. The former is likely known to the HN crowd; the latter draws comparisons to T.H. White's classic The Goshawk. Among non-fiction books, I enjoyed The Little Prover by Friedman and…
如果你喜欢《Watership Down》，那我怎么推荐 Helen Macdonald 的《H is for Hawk》都不为过。虽然两本书大相径庭，一本是小说，一本是回忆录，但它们都以极其优美且相似的方式触碰了自然、死亡与生命。
If you like Watership Down I don't think I can recommend enough H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald. While the books are very different, one is a novel the other is a memoir they both touch on nature, death, life in beautifully similar ways.
我上周读完了《H is for Hawk》。写得真好，不过我承认，看到 TH White 被这样体无完肤地公开剖析示众，心里还是挺难受的。我更愿意把他看作一个无知的、自以为是的鹰猎人，仅凭一本古书摸索前行……
I finished _H is for Hawk_ last week. Good stuff, but I admit feeling pain over the way TH White's skin is flayed out for all the world to see. I'd rather think of him as an ignorant would-be falconer, guided by an ancient book…
这里提到的《H is for Hawk》，让我深深爱上了这种设定，同时又让我清醒地意识到自己绝不该养鹰。那需要极大的心力投入。https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/H_is_for_Hawk
H for Hawk, mentioned here, made me fall in love with the idea and at the same time, know that I should never have a falcon. Intense commitment. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/H_is_for_Hawk
《H is for Hawk》：这本书我读了一半就弃了。拖泥带水，废话太多；光是给鸟起个名字她就花了整整 3 页！她似乎非常讨厌 T.H. White 的《The Goshawk》，于是我决定……
H is for Hawk: I gave up reading this book about halfway through. It drags out a lot with needless fluff; she spent about 3 pages just naming the bird! She seemed to really hate T.H. White's 'The Goshawk' so I decided…
