Allan W. Eckert

    30. Jänner 1931 – 7. Juli 2011

    Allan W. Eckert war ein amerikanischer Historiker, historischer Romanautor und Naturforscher. Seine Werke tauchen tief in die amerikanische Geschichte und die natürliche Welt ein, wobei er sich oft auf verlorene Arten und Erzählungen von der Grenze konzentriert. Eckerts unverwechselbarer Stil verwebt sachliche Genauigkeit mit fesselndem Erzählen und erweckt die Vergangenheit für die Leser lebendig zum Leben. Ausgezeichnet als Lieblingsschriftsteller von Ohio aller Zeiten, ist sein bleibender Einfluss auf die Literatur und die historische Berichterstattung unbestreitbar.

      "Eckert's skills as a naturalist, previously displayed in his Newbery Award-winning Incident at Hawk's Hill, are here given full expression and armchair adventurers will soon be caught in its spell. The pristine and often savage beauty of the killer rainforest is described in lush detail; the reader is right there, watching. Once the reader has been snagged, he'll be as much a captive of the magnificent forest as is Sarah Francis and just as intent as she to survive in a paradoxically terrifying and beautiful environment. The reader cannot help by hold his breath!"-Cincinnati Enquirer

      A very special young adult nature novel about the life and adventures in survival of a North Carolina king snake, from the time of his hatching until he becomes adult. The story shows the way he lives, how he catches and eats his prey (including other snakes, even poisonous ones), his value in the balance of nature and the fascinating events of his life, shedding new light and understanding about the lives of snakes, which, despite their value to man, are so often misunderstood and deliberately killed just because of what they are or what they are perceived to be.
