Alfred Wainwright

    Alfred Wainwright was een autodidactische cartograaf en auteur wiens diepe liefde voor het Lake District zijn omvangrijke oeuvre aanwakkerde. Zijn gidsen staan bekend om hun nauwgezette handgetekende kaarten en gedetailleerde observaties, voortgekomen uit talloze uren die hij doorbracht met het doorkruisen van de heuvels. Wainwrights geschriften zijn meer dan lmere navigatiehulpmiddelen; het zijn hartstochtelijke getuigenissen van de schoonheid en eenzaamheid van de bergen. Zijn unieke artistieke stijl en intieme verbinding met het landschap bieden lezers een diepe waardering voor de natuurlijke wereld.

    • Wainwright has selected 20 of Lakeland's principal fells which have the status of mountains and rather than describing a walk up, around and down each, his copy is more a celebration of each - he describes the particular attributes of each, the views from each top, and any outliers which have particular merit. Derry Brabb's photographs complement his text superbly.
