The Sacred Combe: A Search for Humanity’s Heartland by Simon Barnes
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 2.3MB
Overview: We ve all got one. A secret, special place. Hidden. Enclosed. A little greener and more fertile than the world outside. Here the birds are slightly more exotic, slightly more confiding, the grass greener and the fruit sweeter. To know such a place, to love such a place, is part of being human.
Sometimes it s a place of myth, like the Garden of Eden. Sometimes it exists in fictional form, like Narnia or Shangri-La. Sometimes it comes in memories of a golden day in childhood, or in a glorious, doomed love affair. Sometimes it s a real place that we daren t go back to, for fear that it or we had changed.
And just occasionally it s a real place. A place where you leave a small piece of your heart and return as often as you can so as not to lose it. It s a place of privilege.
Simon Barnes found such a place when he woke in his first morning in the Luangwa Valley in Zambia to find elephants eating the roof of his hut. It was a homecoming, and he has been faithful to that passion ever since. Here he has known peace, danger, discomfort, fear and a profound sense of oneness with the Valley, with all nature and with the world. With the Valley he found completion.
