Reseña del editor:
On Ilkley Moor is Tim Binding's most lyrical and experimental work to date, chronicling one British town in a way that has never been attempted before.Tim Binding lived in Ilkley, Yorkshire, until he was seven, and the place shaped his imagination and has haunted him ever since, especially the death by drowning of Michael Airey, his childhood friend, who was carried away one afternoon by the swollen River Wharfe. On Ilkley Moor is an imaginative history of a town: a series of explorations, partly factual, partly intuitive and partly personal. It is the tale of Victorian optimism - of faith in hydropathy, in manufacturing, in the railways. It is an examination of Ilkley's place on the faultline between the two great forces which have informed English life and culture: its rural heritage and the industrial revolution. It is a book about the north, about industry, commerce and medicine and, above it all, it is one small story of England, of going back, of the fifties and the lost dreams of that era - not a travel book, but a return home to the place that made the writer what he is.

Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: Used: Acceptable. Hardback with D/J in good condition. 2001 Picador 1st edition. An imaginative history of Binding's childhood home - Ilkley Moor, Yorkshire: a series of explorations, partly factual, partly intuitive and partly personal. Binding tells a story about Victorian optimism, industry and commerce, but, above all, of England and the lost dreams of the 1950s. Amazon review - "This book is arguably the best yet by the established author Tim Binding. Although it is marketed as a biography of Ilkley it goes, however, far deeper than that. It is much more than a mere travel or history book. It is very personal along with being factual, and also partly autobiographical. Binding deliberately writes in the third person when referring to himself, conciously wishing to detatch himself from this return to his childhood, his growing up period. On Ilkley Moor is extrememly moving, in particualar as poem at the end of the book dedicated to his mother, characterised by a repeating line, 'Oh but she loved me'. References to the tragic drowning of his childhood friend in the swollen river Wharfe amongst other happenings leave lasting impressions on the reader. Binding writes with verve and imagination, its haunting, tragic themes and tones left a great effect on me. If i had my way everyone would try reading it. A truly great book." - used books, secondhand books, out of print books, hard to find books, for sale, second-hand books, college books, student books, nonfiction, first edition, signed copies, non-fiction books delivered world wide.
