Description

A man awakens in a pastoral future without technology or ambition, falls for enigmatic Yoletta, and struggles to fit desire and individuality into perfect harmony. Spoken as when utopia still asks what a crystal age costs the heart that wants.

Author

W. H. Hudson (1841–1922) wrote as if the natural world were speaking through him — birds, grasslands, forests, and the human longing to belong among them. Raised in Argentina and long resident in England, he brought New World memory into English nature writing with uncommon freshness.
