The Language of Magic / Cao Yibing / Guangxi Normal University Press

Introduction

Editor's Recommendation:

1. Michio Hoshino, a national treasure-level ecological photographer in Japan: He is not only an ecological photographer, but also a travel writer. He has lived in the Arctic for 20 years and created a large number of photographic and literary works. He has won the "Akutagawa Prize in the Photography World" - the Kimura Ihei Photography Award.

2. Ten public speeches, ten love letters to Alaska: from hibernating bear cubs to feeding whales, from trains that stop when you wave to pilots flying in uninhabited areas at night... these constitute Michio Hoshino's philosophy of life - "play" is the ultimate answer to how to get along with nature.

3. 64-mo paperback edition, printed on old Japanese paper: Michio Hoshino's Nature Collection series of three books, small format, easy to turn along the grain; comfortable to use for commuting and traveling; special color cover, eye-catching and wear-resistant. Bears accompany the wild fun, snow reflects the coolness, the body is still, but the heart is far away.

Contents:

The Magic Language contains ten speeches given by Hoshino Michio from 1987 to 1996, including his last public sharing 88 days before his death in Kamchatka Peninsula. The content of the speech revolves around his eighteen years of life in Alaska, from bear cubs to reindeer, from humpback whales to salmon, from trains that stop when you wave to pilots flying in uninhabited areas at night... Between the lines, Michio Hoshino's love for Alaska is revealed, and the polar wilderness, wild animals, and moments of the lives of indigenous people that he has continuously photographed are reproduced. The audiences of these speeches include middle school students, college students, photography beginners, and nature lovers. The ten speeches constitute a complete presentation of the author's own philosophy of life - do what you like to do. In Alaska, "playing" is the ultimate answer to how to get along with nature.
