批評家のレビュー
"Always engaging, charming, funny and often moving.... It made me want to pull on my stoutest boots and follow in his footsteps." (Stephen Fry)
"Beautiful, funny, fascinating, impossible-to-categorise.... Like going on a great ramble with a knowledgeable, witty, engaging friend. Tom Cox brings magic to the most mundane of subjects." (Marian Keyes)
"Sheer bloody genius...I loved it. Then I loved it more." (John Lewis-Stempel, author of Meadowland)
あらすじ・解説
A hill is not a mountain. You climb it for you, then you put it quietly inside you, in a cupboard marked 'Quite a Lot of Hills' where it makes its infinitesimal mark on who you are.
Ring the Hill is a book written around, and about, hills: it includes a northern hill, a hill that never ends and the smallest hill in England. Each chapter takes a type of hill – whether it's a knoll, cap, cliff, tor, or even a mere bump – as a starting point for one of Tom's characteristically unpredictable and wide-ranging explorations.
Tom's lyrical, candid prose roams from an intimate relationship with a particular cove on the south coast, to meditations on his great-grandmother, and a lesson on what goes into the mapping of hills themselves. Because a good walk in the hills is never just about the hills: you never know where it might lead.
