James Herriot Libri

E' il terzo volume di una serie che racconta le avventure di un veterinario di campagna, l'autore stesso, e il rapporto esclusivo che lo lega agli animali.

Una lettura piacevolissima alla scoperta del mondo di questi felini sornioni e imprevedibili tanto amati dall'autore.

James Herriot è un veterinario scozzese innamorato del suo lavoro. Ma è anche uno scrittore e in questo libro ci racconta con humour i suoi primi due anni di professione trascorsi nello Yorkshire. Accade così che anche il più distratto abitante di una metropoli dei nostri giorni si scopre spettatore commosso di eventi ormai dimenticati, come la nascita di un agnello o il ritorno della primavera.

Cani, gatti, pecore, mucche, cavalli, tutte quelle 'creature grandi e piccole' che si ammalano, guariscono, muoiono come gli esseri umani sono i veri, straordinari protagonisti di storie indimenticabili. Umorismo e dramma, tenerezza e commozione pervadono tutte le pagine di questo libro. "Per amore di tutte le creature" è ricco di spunti autobiografici e di episodi inediti nei quali si alternano personaggi simpatici e antipatici, stravaganti o scorbutici, legati ai ritmi sereni della vita in campagna.

Colline sepolte sotto la neve e distese profumate di erica fanno da sfondo all'instancabile attività di James Herriot, veterinario che si sposta per lo Yorkshire per visitare gli animali a lui affidati. Come sottolinea Jim Wight, il figlio di Herriot, questi racconti "non parlano tanto di animali quanto di persone", esplorando la complessità della natura umana. Emergono così gli abitanti delle verdi valli inglesi, con i loro sentimenti e problemi: persone austere e scontrose, ma anche generose e affettuose. In un caleidoscopio di avventure, si snoda una galleria di "creature grandi e piccole" che vivono i cicli eterni della vita: cani, caprette, agnellini, mucche e cavalli. Tra i personaggi spiccano Tricki Woo, il pechinese che fornisce prelibatezze al "zio Herriot", Blossom, la mucca testarda, e Herbert, l'agnellino orfano con una straordinaria voglia di vivere. Questo mondo semplice e incantevole è permeato di freschezza e poesia, esprimendo un amore profondo per la natura e le creature di Dio, capace di commuovere e affascinare.

Natale è tempo di scelte e divisioni. Prima di discutere su pranzo o cenone, albero o presepe, panettone o pandoro, ci si confronta sulla festa stessa. Per alcuni, è magia e desiderio di bontà; per altri, è solo stress e routine. Si fronteggiano così gli amanti del Natale e i contrari, ma esiste una terra di mezzo ricca di sfumature. Questa raccolta nasce dal desiderio di esplorare questa via, offrendo punti di vista originali a chi è stanco delle opposizioni scontate. Le voci di autori italiani contemporanei e di penne internazionali si alternano per guidarvi in un viaggio inatteso. Pino Cacucci, Gianrico Carofiglio, Piero Colaprico e Antonio Pascale vi porteranno lungo le vie più oscure del male, mentre Maeve Brennan, James Herriot, Roberto Perrone e Nadia Terranova dimostreranno che anche il Natale più classico ha le sue crepe. Andrea Molesini, Luca Ricci e Jean Stafford presenteranno protagonisti insospettabili alle prese con lo spirito natalizio, mentre Morley Callaghan, Mavis Gallant e James Thurber evidenzieranno l'importanza di lasciarsi sorprendere. Le migliori sorprese, infatti, sono quelle che sfidano le aspettative, e il Natale non fa eccezione: ogni Natale ha un suo perché, purché non sembri Natale.
