书籍简介
BBC广播4周最佳图书。弗朗西斯·普莱尔(Francis Pryor)以一种非常个人化而又完全迷人的方式，将沼泽的魔力带到了生活中。普莱尔是感受土地，而不是简单地知道它是监护人。
从沃什河到英格兰东部的内陆，河流纵横交错，高耸的教堂尖顶点缀其间，是地势低洼的沼泽和神秘的沼泽。由海洋和淡水洪水形成的林肯郡和剑桥郡沼泽，历史上因其肥沃的土壤而富裕，是英格兰最独特、最被忽视和最非凡的地区之一。弗朗西斯·普莱尔与这片风景有着最亲密的联系。
四十多年来，他作为一名考古学家在这里挖掘土壤，对该地区史前定居的性质做出了突破性的发现，并在斯伯丁和威斯贝克之间的花卉种植地养羊。在《沼泽》一书中，他对沼泽景观的历史及其转变进行了对比——从青铜时代的田野系统到铁器时代的山堡;从King"s Lynn、Ely和Cambridge等繁荣城镇的崛起，到创建新老贝德福德河的雄心勃勃的排水工程——以及他作为考古学家发现这条河的故事。
A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. "Francis Pryor brings the magic of the Fens to life in a deeply personal and utterly enthralling way" TONY ROBINSON. "Pryor feels the land rather than simply knowing it" GUARDIAN.
Inland from the Wash, on England"s eastern cost, crisscrossed by substantial rivers and punctuated by soaring church spires, are the low-lying, marshy and mysterious Fens. Formed by marine and freshwater flooding, and historically wealthy owing to the fertility of their soils, the Fens of Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire are one of the most distinctive, neglected and extraordinary regions of England. Francis Pryor has the most intimate of connections with this landscape.
For some forty years he has dug its soils as a working archaeologist - making ground-breaking discoveries about the nature of prehistoric settlement in the area - and raising sheep in the flower-growing country between Spalding and Wisbech. In The Fens, he counterpoints the history of the Fenland landscape and its transformation - from Bronze age field systems to Iron Age hillforts; from the rise of prosperous towns such as King"s Lynn, Ely and Cambridge to the ambitious drainage projects that created the Old and New Bedford Rivers - with the story of his own discovery of it as an archaeologist. Affectionate, richly informative and deftly executed, The Fens weaves together strands of archaeology, history and personal experience into a satisfying narrative portrait of a complex and threatened landscape.
