If we may find a city, where one was considered impossible to exist, it may well write a whole new chapter in human history. The Lost City of Z (2016)

Hello everyone! A new month is coming, which means we're going to start a new book. This time, I've collected a list of books that are all about nature. As always, please remember to vote for your favourite using the link at the end of the post. And now onto the books!
The Overstory, by Richard Powers
Tumblr media
The Overstory is a sweeping, impassioned work of activism and resistance that is also a stunning evocation of - and paean to - the natural world. From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, Richard Powers’s twelfth novel unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There is a world alongside ours—vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.
Greenwood, by Michael Christie
Tumblr media
It's 2034 and Jake Greenwood is a storyteller and a liar, an overqualified tour guide babysitting ultra-rich vacationers in one of the world's last remaining forests.
It's 2008 and Liam Greenwood is a carpenter, fallen from a ladder and sprawled on his broken back, calling out from the concrete floor of an empty mansion.
It's 1974 and Willow Greenwood is out of jail, free after being locked up for one of her endless series of environmental protests: attempts at atonement for the sins of her father's once vast and violent timber empire.
It's 1934 and Everett Greenwood is alone, as usual, in his maple syrup camp squat when he hears the cries of an abandoned infant and gets tangled up in the web of a crime that will cling to his family for decades.
And throughout, there are trees: thrumming a steady, silent pulse beneath Christie's effortless sentences and working as a guiding metaphor for withering, weathering, and survival.
Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance, by Ruth Emmie Lang
Tumblr media
Orphaned, raised by wolves, and the proud owner of a horned pig named Merlin, Weylyn Grey knew he wasn’t like other people. But when he single-handedly stopped that tornado on a stormy Christmas day in Oklahoma, he realized just how different he actually was.
That tornado was the first of many strange events that seem to follow Weylyn from town to town, although he doesn’t like to take credit. As amazing as these powers may appear, they tend to manifest themselves at inopportune times and places. From freak storms to trees that appear to grow over night, Weylyn’s unique abilities are a curiosity at best and at worst, a danger to himself and the woman he loves. But Mary doesn’t care. Since Weylyn saved her from an angry wolf on her eleventh birthday, she’s known that a relationship with him isn’t without its risks, but as anyone who’s met Weylyn will tell you, once he wanders into your life, you’ll wish he’d never leave.
Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance tells the story of Weylyn Grey’s life from the perspectives of the people who knew him, loved him, and even a few who thought he was just plain weird. Although he doesn’t stay in any of their lives for long, he leaves each of them with a story to tell. Stories about a boy who lives with wolves, great storms that evaporate into thin air, fireflies that make phosphorescent honey, and a house filled with spider webs and the strange man who inhabits it.
There is one story, however, that Weylyn wishes he could change: his own. But first he has to muster enough courage to knock on Mary’s front door.
The Lost City of Z, by David Grann
Tumblr media
After stumbling upon a hidden trove of diaries, New Yorker writer David Grann set out to solve "the greatest exploration mystery of the 20th century": What happened to the British explorer Percy Fawcett & his quest for the Lost City of Z?
In 1925, Fawcett ventured into the Amazon to find an ancient civilization, hoping to make one of the most important discoveries in history. For centuries Europeans believed the world's largest jungle concealed the glittering kingdom of El Dorado. Thousands had died looking for it, leaving many scientists convinced that the Amazon was truly inimical to humans. But Fawcett, whose daring expeditions inspired Conan Doyle's The Lost World, had spent years building his scientific case. Captivating the imagination of millions round the globe, Fawcett embarked with his 21-year-old son, determined to prove that this ancient civilisation--which he dubbed Z--existed. Then his expedition vanished. Fawcett's fate, & the tantalizing clues he left behind about Z, became an obsession for hundreds who followed him into the uncharted wilderness.
For decades scientists & adventurers have searched for evidence of Fawcett's party & the lost City of Z. Countless have perished, been captured by tribes or gone mad. As Grann delved ever deeper into the mystery surrounding Fawcett's quest, & the greater mystery of what lies within the Amazon, he found himself, like the generations who preceded him, being irresistibly drawn into the jungle's green hell. His quest for the truth & discoveries about Fawcett's fate & Z form the heart of this complexly enthralling narrative.
Prodigal Summer, by Barbara Kingslover
Tumblr media
It is summer in the Appalachian mountains and love, desire and attraction are in the air. From her outpost in an isolated mountain cabin, Deanna Wolfe, a reclusive wildlife biologist, watches a den of coyotes. She is caught off guard by a young hunter who invades her most private spaces and interrupts her solitary life.
On a farm several miles down the mountain, Lusa Maluf Landowski, a bookish city girl turned farmer's wife, finds herself marooned in a strange place where she must declare or lose her attachment to the land that has become her own. And a few more miles down the road, a pair of elderly feuding neighbours tend their respective farms and wrangle about God, pesticides, and the possibilities of a future neither of them expected. Over the course of one humid summer, these characters find their connections of love to one another and to the surrounding nature with which they share a place.

Kayıp Z Şehri, ( The Lost City of Z )
Film Tavsiye
Yönetmen: James Gray
Oyuncular: Charlie Hunnam , Robert Pattinson
Percy Fawcett'tin hayatından yola çıkarak David Grann tarafından yazılmış bu senaryo James Gray tarafından da hissedilerek yönetilmiş. Film için uzun süredir izlediğim hem en güzel dönem, hem de en güzel macera filmi demek istiyorum. Karanlık, faşist Avrupa fikirlerini ve Arkeoloji Faşizmini James Gray bu filimde çok güzel işlemiş, bize de yansıtmış...
Latin Amerika'ya, Bolivya ile Brezilya arasındaki Kauçuk tarlalarının haritasını çıkartması amacıyla İngiliz Hükumeti tarafından gönderilen bir askerin bölgeye gittiğinde, insanlarla iletişim kurdukça aslında kendilerinden daha medeni olduklarını ve bu bölgede, geçmişte de ileri medeniyetler kurulduğuna dair arkeolojik kanıtlara rastlar. Bu kanıtları ve gördüklerini ülkesine döndüğünde, anlattığında ona kulaklarını tıkamış ve kendini ileri medeniyetin yöneticileri olarak tanımlamış kalbur üstü sınıfla karşı karşıya kalacaktır.
Sadece ticari çıkarları için hareket eden bu topluluğun değişmediğini artık hepimiz biliyoruz. Günümüzde de halen Avrupa Ve Batı birçok yeni arkeolojik buluşu çıkarlarına ters düştüğü ve yukarıdaki gibi ileri medeniyetin kendileri ile çıktığı savını değiştirmemesi adına görmezden gelmeye devam etmekte.
Filmle ilgili daha çok detay vermeden iyi seyirler diliyorum. 03.02.2024

220 - The Lost City of Z
Tumblr media
It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without a little tradition, so naturally Vanity Fair’s Katey Rich makes her annual return to us this week to discuss James Gray’s The Lost City of Z. The film had a long pre-production history, including promises of Brad Pitt in the lead, that long positioned it as the film that might finally garner Gray some awards attention. Finally produced and with Charlie Hunnam replacing Pitt, the film made its world premiere at the 2016 New York Film Festival without distribution and received strong reviews. Though Amazon picked up the film, they held its release until the spring, effectively killing its awards chances. 
This episode, we discuss our shared love for the film and talk about Gray’s Oscar-elusive approach to material and his chances this season with Armageddon Time. We also talk about Sienna Miller face blindness, Robert Pattinson’s move towards auteur directors post-Twilight, and Amazon’s auteur-heavy 2017 crop of films. 
Topics also include renting VCRs, Darius Khondji’s luminous Lost City cinematography, and 2017 as the best Best Picture year post-expansion.

Ugh, I had event setup time today, and I got a slightly larger space than I usually do, which is nice, but I'm always flexible with my booth layout and sort of wing it when I see what I'm working with, you know? But with a little extra space, I had more options, so it was like, set up the table, set up Shelf A, set up Shelf B, move Shelf B, set Shelf C, move Shelf A, move Shelf B, move the table, move Shelf C, stare at it for a minute, move Shelf C, move the table, stare at it for a minute, move Shelf C, set up Shelf D, move the table, stare at it for a minute, move the table, stare at it for a minute, and so on, more so than usual, that's what I get for getting a booth and a half. Like, having more space to work with, I want to be a little more creative with my set up and have good flow.
I did give myself a little more space than usual, since I had that, uhh, recent issue with a crowded space.

Exploration! Fortune and glory! For science or whatever. Turns out the Royal Geographical Society is having a bit of bother with their map of Bolivia, what with it being rather, er, vague. As it were. So they're sending a couple of guys to sort it out.

I watched 1 TV show and 3 feature-length films of Edward Ashley. All 4 of them are based on true historical events. All of them are period drama.3 of them have cannibalism element in them. 2 of them have his character got eaten. 2 of them set in colonialism and imperialism background. 2 of them have Tom Holland. 2 of them have Robert Pattinson. All his characters died.
So is he has a thing of dying/got eaten in prestige bleak period drama based on true event or you guys are right, he does have a face of scurvy.
