Rreth këtij libri elektronik
An immediate success upon its first publication in 1898, Wild Animals I Have Known gave the animal story new credibility and power as a literary genre and remains Seton’ s best-loved work.
With over 200 illustrations by the author.
In Wild Animals I Have Known, Ernest Thompson Seton guides us through the inner lives of the creatures he met on Manitoba’s plains, New Mexico’s ranges, and in Toronto’s ravines. His portrayal of the ways of nature is a fascinating reflection of the conflicting impulses of his time: Romanticism is tempered by scientific observation; sentimentality by Darwinian dispassion. Yet each of Seton’s animal heroes—Silverspot the Crow, Raggylug, the Cottontail Rabbit, and Wully, the Yaller Dog—is in his way an exception among his kind.
Seton’s compassionate appreciation for the wisdom expressed in the natural world made Wild Animals I Have Known an instant bestseller when it was first published in 1898, and has inspired generations of readers since.

Rreth autorit
Ernest Thompson Seton was born in South Shields, Durham, England, in 1860. His family emigrated to Canada in 1866 and settled near Lindsay, Ontario. Four years later they moved to Toronto, where Seton received his early education. He graduated from the Ontario College of Art in 1879 and pursued further studies at the Royal Academy in England, and at l'Académie Julian in Paris. Seton returned to Canada in 1881 and joined his brother on a homestead near Carberry, Manitoba. There he made extensive notes on the behaviour of animals and birds, complementing his studies as a naturalist with commissioned work as an illustrator and painter. His first collection of animal stories, Wild Animals I Have Known (1898), won immediate critical and popular acclaim, and was followed in the next four decades by more than thirty volumes of such fiction. Seton founded a youth organization, the League of Woodcraft Indians, and in 1910 joined Lord Baden-Powell in establishing the Boy Scouts of America. In the same year, he wrote the Boy Scouts of America Official Manual. In 1930 Seton moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he set up Seton Village, a centre for environmentalists, naturalists, and students of North American Indian culture. Ernest Thompson Seton died in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1946.
