WH. Hudson with paintings and drawings by Horacio Butler W. H.
Green Mansions
New York - Alfred A. Knopf 1943 Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First edition. Red colth covers with dustjacket in excellent condition. First Edition thus of this classic novel. This superb centenary edition features the original foreword by John Galsworthy as well as twelve full colour pages and twenty two black and white headpieces by the Argentine artist Horacio Butler. William Henry Hudson August 4 1841 August 18 1922 was an author naturalist and ornithologist. Hudson was born in the Quilmes Partido in Buenos Aires Province Argentina son of settlers of U. S. origin. He spent his youth studying the local flora and fauna and observing both natural and human dramas on what was then a lawless frontier publishing his ornithological work in Proceedings of the Royal Zoological Society initially in an English mingled with Spanish idioms. He settled in England during 1869. He produced a series of ornithological studies including Argentine Ornithology 1888-1899 and British Birds 1895 and later achieved fame with his books on the English countryside including Hampshire Days 1903 Afoot in England 1909 and A Shepherd's Life 1910 which helped foster the back-to-nature movement of the 1920s and 1930s. He was a founding member of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. His best known novel is Green Mansions 1904 and his best known non-fiction is Far Away and Long Ago 1918. In Argentina he is considered to belong to the national literature as Guillermo Enrique Hudson the Spanish version of his name. A town in Berazategui Partido and several other public places and institutions are named after him. Towards the end of his life he moved to the town of Worthing in Sussex England. His grave is in Broadwater part of Worthing West Sussex England. Green Mansions: A Romance of the Tropical Forest 1904 is an exotic romance by William Henry Hudson about a traveller to the Guyana jungle of southeastern Venezuela and his encounter with a forest dwelling woman named Rima. Hudson based Rima and her lost tribe on persistent rumors about a tribe of white people who lived in the mountains. Temple paintings often showed light-skinned people and Spanish Conquistadors were at first thought to be gods. Green Mansions also features some cryptozoological concepts such as Curupita Curupira and Didi purportedly representing giants apes unknown by science. Many authors of the time also recounted lost worlds and lost tribes the most successful being Edgar Rice Burroughs and Robert E. Howard. Hudson's book has endured as literature because of its evocative and lyrical prose and his naturalist's keen vision of the jungle. Rima also exemplifies the natural man a philosophical notion put forth by Jean-Jacques Rousseau and others that someone raised away from corrupting civilization would be naturally pure of heart and attuned to their environment. Tarzan raised by apes and Mowgli raised by wolves are Rima's literary cousins. In the Classics Illustrated comic book adaptation the editor wonders if Hudson took inspiration for Rima's people - older gentler vegetarian woods-dwelling - from legends of elves. The title may spring from the Bible quote In my Father's house are many mansions John 14:2 implying the pristine forest is a natural and sacred cathedral. Condition: The binding is tight and firm and both covers are firmly attached. There is very little wear to the extremities. Internally the book is clean and bright. Some of the pages are roughly cut as called for. Some of the tissue guards presumably missing as others are detached but present. Overall this book is in very good condition indeed.
