Beschreibung

<p><b>Eerie, unsettling and hauntingly beautiful - a new collaboration from the bestselling creators of <i>Holloway, </i>Robert Macfarlane and Stanley Donwood<i><br><br> 'Ness</i> goes beyond what we expect books to do. Beyond poetry, beyond the word, beyond the bomb -- it is an aftertime song' Max Porter, Booker-longlisted author of<i> Grief is the Thing with Feathers</i></b><br><br> Somewhere on a salt-and-shingle island, inside a ruined concrete structure known as The Green Chapel, a figure called The Armourer is leading a ritual with terrible intent. But something is coming to stop him.<br><br> Five more-than-human forms are traversing land, sea and time towards The Green Chapel, moving to the point where they will converge and become Ness. Ness has lichen skin and willow-bones. Ness is made of tidal drift, green moss and deep time. Ness has hagstones for eyes and speaks only in birds. And Ness has come to take this island back.<br><br> <i>What happens when land comes to life? What would it take for land to need to come to life?</i><br><br><b>Using word and image, the pair have together made a minor modern myth. Part-novella, part-prose-poem, part-mystery play, in <i>Ness</i> their skills combine to dazzling, troubling effect.</b><br><br> <b>Robert Macfarlane </b>is the author of <i>The Lost Words </i>with Jackie Morris<i>, The Old Ways</i> and <i>Underland</i>.<b> Stanley Donwood </b>is an artist and the author of <i>Slowly Downward</i>,<i> Household Worms</i> and <i>Bad Island</i>.</p>
