To Breathe with Birds: A Book of Landscapes - Penn Studies in Landscape Architecture
Vaclav Cilek
The first book-length appearance of Vaclav Cilek's work in English translation, To Breathe with Birds delves into the imaginative and emotional bonds we form with landscapes and how human existence-a recent development, geologically speaking-shapes and is shaped by a sense of place.
Marc Notes: Translated from the Czech.; Just is there as love at first sight between people, Vaclav Cilek writes, there can be love at first sight between a person and a place. A landscape is more than a location, it is one party in a relationship - whether or not the spirit of a certain setting is perceptible to those who visit. But whether we travel to experience rapture or excitement, to discover truth and beauty or to be dazzled, we search for the essence of faraway landscapes to gain perspective on our own places within the world. 'To Breathe With Birds' delves into the imaginative and emotional bonds we form with landscapes and how human existence - a recent development, geologically speaking - shapes and is shaped by a sense of place."
