William Henry Hudson (1841–1922) — an English writer and naturalist, born into a family of immigrants and spending the first half of his life in Argentina, wrote more than twenty books, both fictional and popular science, always inspired by nature...
and observations of it. Protecting birds was Hudson's main life work — an energetic field researcher, a tireless ornithologist, and a passionate advocate against the consumerist attitude toward the environment, who realized in childhood that cages for animals are miniature torture chambers. The book "Adventures Among Birds" presents sentimental, ironic, seasoned with trademark British humor, and very poetic observations of birds against the backdrop of picturesque English landscapes. Reflecting on birds and human nature, Hudson references literature, music, anthropology, and geography, while also calling for responsibility among bird catchers, hunters, and collectors.
