BLOOD TIES: A MEMOIR OF HAWKS AND FATHERHOOD
Book ID/图书代码： 12751018C00059
English Summary/英文概要： A brilliant evocation of the falconer’s art
A moving story of one man’s discovery of how to be a father
This is a book about a man’s relationship with hawks; about his self-education as a falconer; and about his discovery that despite his Asperger’s Syndrome – which hampers his normal social interactions – he can forge a loving bond with the young son he thought he had lost.
Ben Crane writes with uncanny accuracy and lyrical beauty about the intricacies of birds’ behaviour and their instincts. He not only has a ruthless eye for the minute details of their natural processes but he is as clear-eyed about himself and his detachment from ordinary human society as he is about the flight of peregrines and goshawks.
Here is nature writing at its very best, interwoven with an affecting human story; an account of how he mastered the ancient craft of falconry and how he tries to understand the age-old question of how we can devote our life, and love, to something – whether a hawk or a child – which we know, eventually, will soar free…
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是一本关于一个男人与游隼之间关系；以及他如何自修成为一名放鹰猎手；并发现自己尽管他的阿斯伯格综合症，阻碍了他的政策社会交流，他仍然能够和自己曾经失去沟通的小儿子重新建立起爱的纽带的故事。。。
本•克莱恩(Ben Crane)以真实的文字和俊美的抒情笔触，描写了鸟类行为的复杂性和它们的本能。他不仅对他们的自然过程的细微细节有着独到的见解，而且对自己脱离人类社会对现状对了解，就像如同对游隼和苍鹰的飞行路线一样清楚。
这是大自然的杰作，与感人的人类故事交织在一起；本书讲述了他如何掌握猎鹰的古老技艺，以及他如何试图理解一个古老的问题，即我们如何将我们的生命和爱奉献给一些对象，无论是鹰还是孩子，我们知道，最终我们会自由翱翔。。。(Sandy)
