The Goshawk (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by New York Review Books, New York, 2007
ISBN 10: 1590172493 ISBN 13: 9781590172490
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What is it that binds human beings to other animals? T. H. White, the author of The Once and Future King and Mistress Masham's Repose, was a young writer who found himself rifling through old handbooks of falconry. A particular sentence-"the bird reverted to a feral state"-seized his imagination, and, White later wrote, "A longing came to my mind that I should be able to do this myself. The word 'feral' has a kind of magical potency which allied itself to two other words, 'ferocious' and 'free.'" Immediately, White wrote to Germany to acquire a young goshawk. Gos, as White named the bird, was ferocious and Gos was free, and White had no idea how to break him in beyond the ancient (and, though he did not know it, long superseded) practice of depriving him of sleep, which meant that he, White, also went without rest. Slowly man and bird entered a state of delirium and intoxication, of attraction and repulsion that looks very much like love. White kept a daybook describing his volatile relationship with Gos-at once a tale of obsession, a comedy of errors, and a hymn to the hawk.It was this that became The Goshawk, one of modern literature's most memorable and surprising encounters with the wilderness-as it exists both within us and without. The Goshawk, one of modern literature's most memorable and surprising encounters with the wilderness-as it exists both within us and without.

Add to basketHardback. Condition: New. With a foreword by Helen Macdonald, author of the multi-award-winning H IS FOR HAWK.'No hawk can be a pet. There is no sentimentality. In a way, it is the psychiatrist's art. One is matching one's mind against another mind with deadly reason and interest. One desires no transference of affection, demands no ignoble homage or gratitude. It is a tonic for the less forthright savagery of the human heart.'First published in 1951, T.H. White's memoir describes with searing honesty his attempt to train a wild goshawk, a notoriously difficult bird to master. With no previous experience and only a few hopelessly out-of-date books on falconry as a guide, he set about trying to bend the will of his young bird Gos to his own. Suffering setback after setback, the solitary and troubled White nonetheless found himself obsessively attached to the animal he hoped would one day set him free.

Not illustrated, foreword by Helen Macdonald. Matt laminated boards. Fine new copy. This is a brand-new edition of T.H. White's terrific narrative of manning and flying his goshawk. Includes a new foreword by Helen Macdonald, author of H is For Hawk. A classic. "The Goshawk is the story of a concentrated duel between Mr. White and a great beautiful hawk during the training of the latter - the record of an intense clash of wills in which the pride and endurance of the wild raptor are worn down and broken by the almost insane willpower of the schoolmaster-falconer. It is comic; it is tragic; it is all absorbing. .we may be sure that the experiences recorded in The Goshawk have marked Mr. White for life." .
