About this book

Some unnamed catastrophe has emptied England of its modern civilization, and nature has quietly taken it back. Richard Jefferies opens with a coolly detailed survey of how the fields, roads, and cities of the old world vanished under forest and a vast inland lake, the ruins of London reduced to a poisonous, half-drowned swamp. The second half follows Felix Aquila, a thoughtful, restless young man out of step with the feudal, semi-barbaric society that has grown up in the wilderness, as he sets out by boat across the great water in search of a place for himself. One of the earliest English visions of civilization's collapse, it later shaped writers from William Morris onward. Free PDF and EPUB editions are available here.

About the author

Richard Jefferies

Richard Jefferies (1848-1887) was an English nature writer and novelist born on a Wiltshire farm at Coate. Celebrated for essays and books rooted in the countryside, among them The Story of My Heart and Bevis, he combined precise natural observation with mysticism before dying young of tuberculosis.
