SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR CONSERVATION A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST SUMMER BOOK OF 2023: ENVIRONMENT In a Polish forest a young woman befriends a boar. An Englishman sets up home with two beavers in Saskatchewan. A zoologist watches a fish make a conscious decision. Darwin finds the evidence for evolution in the backyards of pigeon fanciers. The entire population of Croatia anxiously awaits the arrival of a single stork. Animals have shaped our lives, our land, our civilisation, and they will shape our future. Yet as our impact on the world and the animals we share it with increases, there has never been a greater urgency to understand this foundational relationship. Beastly is the 40,000-year story of animals and humans as it has never been captured before, seen eye-to-eye and claw-to-hand through those humans who have stepped into the myriad worlds of our animal relatives. Our relationship with animals has always been paradoxical, but the greatest paradox may yet be this: diversity of life can heal ecosystems. Animals – if given the chance – could save us.

Reseñas de la crítica

What a wonderful and unexpected book. The very opposite of beastly: heavenly and amazing, powerful and affecting, a beloved and very fine teller of tales reminds us how small we are in the face of a nature that we neither understand nor wish to respect or, in any real sense, live with (PHILIPPE SANDS)
Full of necessary rage, joy and passion: Beastly should be mandatory reading for all humans (CLAIRE FULLER)
This book is sensational. I am fascinated by the animals, as I thought I would be, but I am equally fascinated by the humans. The writing is so beautiful. The most natural writer there ever was. I MEAN IT! (LAURA CUMMING)
[An] entertaining and mind-expanding book so full of surprising facts and fascinating stories that my copy has practically every page folded down or highlighted or annotated with exclamation marks. Keggie's writing makes me laugh but it also makes me think; the perfect combination. Beastly is a brilliant book for anyone who questions how we might live more ethically, more harmoniously and more happily alongside the other creatures in this crowded and beautiful world (CAL FLYN)
Moving, poignant yet funny. A charmingly eccentric exploration of our increasingly dysfunctional relationship with nature, peppered with peculiar, remarkable tales both joyous and sad (DAVE GOULSON)
Wondruous true stories of kinship between humans and our fellow creatures . . . [An] impassioned account about the ways in which wild animals have shaped, and will continue to shape, our lives, particularly in the teeth of the climate emergency (CAROLINE SANDERSON)
Praise for Keggie Carew: A rare blend of wit, warmth, zany fizz and plain honesty (RACHEL JOYCE)
This is an unexpected and unusual treat: feels like a breath of fresh air . . . This is laugh-out-loud, delightful comedic writing . . . More Keggie, please (VIV GROSKOP)
Hilariously, toe-curlingly relatable . . . a joyous burst of authenticity
OH THIS BOOK. Beautiful and fierce and brave. Memory and war and family and loss and, well, wow (HELEN MacDONALD)
