Que se passe-t-il quand l'être humain abandonne un lieu sur Terre? "À l'abandon", un livre foisonnant de la journaliste Cal Flyn. J'avais beaucoup aimé sa lecture, les éditions Paulsen le publient en français.

"I remind myself: if you go in search of nature in its wildest forms, you shouldn't expect it will be pleased to see you." —Cal Flyn

One of the most interesting books I've read in a while: calflyn.com/nonfiction-books/i

Paperback cover of Cal Flyn's book Islands of Abandonment: Life in the Post-Human Landscape. It shows a photo of a narrow wooden house, several stories tall, built on poles on a sandy beach with the tide lapping beneath it. It's an attractive structure but looks precarious and empty. There's a pinkish-purplish hue to the cover. Various blurbs praise the book highly (e.g. 'Extraordinary' —Spectator; 'Fascinating' —The Times; 'Exhilarating' —Daily Telegraph), and there's text telling us it was shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize and the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction 2021.

Love it when a new book sends me to Google Earth for a nosey and Wikipedia to research more.
Islands of Abandonment by Cal Flyn. Picked up as I’m on holiday and already finished the book I brought.
Abandoned areas are fascinating.
