Robert MacFarlane - Biography
Macfarlane was born on 15 August 1976 in Nottingham, England. His childhood was surrounded by nature, and he divided his time between urban life and rural adventures. This duality of perception of the world, both urban and natural, became one of the foundations of the subject of his future works.After leaving school, Robert entered the University of Oxford, where he studied English literature. His education became the foundation for his future literary career and passion for nature. At Oxford he was also introduced to the ideas of ecology and landscape literature that profoundly influenced his work.
Robert began his literary career as an academic specializing in English literature and natural poetry. His doctoral dissertation was devoted to natural images in British literature of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Subsequently, he became a famous author and naturalist, whose works conquered readers around the world. One of his most famous works is the book "The Wild Places," published in 2007. In this book, he talks about his travels around Britain in search of the last wild and pristine corners of nature. The book became a bestseller and brought attention to wildlife conservation issues.
Robert MacFarlane is not limited only to literary activity - he is also actively involved in nature studies. His interest in geography, ecology and geology led him to study various natural phenomena and landscapes.
In 2010, he released the book "Hotel on the Edge of the World" ("The Old Ways"), in which he describes his travels along old roads and paths, exploring not only the physical aspects of landscapes, but also their historical and cultural context. His work combines literature, geography and natural science, allowing readers to see the world from a new, deeper perspective.
