No Customer Reviews
W. H. Hudson first released his love story "Green Mansions". The protagonists of this story, which is set in the Venezuelan jungle, are Abel, a young guy who runs away to the forest to escape his horrific past, and Rima, a mysterious young woman who lives in the bush and is known to have magical abilities. Abel is so taken with Rima that he resolves to find out more about her. He discovers that she was born of a bird-like creature and was nurtured in the forest, among the animals and plants that she loves. The love between Rima and Abel is complicated by Rima's partial humanity and their disparate social and cultural backgrounds. As they go further into the forest, Abel and Rima face several perils, including hostile tribes and frightening animals. They also get a deeper understanding of one another and the significance of love and sacrifice. The narrative finally takes a catastrophic turn when Abel is forced to choose between his love for Rima and his duty to the outside world. A wonderfully written novel, "Green Mansions" skillfully weaves together literature about romance, adventure, and the environment. It has received accolades for its moving representations of the Venezuelan jungle and the way it shows how humans and nature interact.
