Far Away and Long Ago: A History of My Early Life is a memoir written by W.H. Hudson that chronicles his childhood and early years growing up in the Argentine pampas. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part focusing on Hudson's family history and his early childhood memories. The second part delves into Hudson's experiences living among the indigenous people of the region, including the Mapuche and Puelche tribes. The final part of the book explores Hudson's love of nature and his passion for bird watching, which would become a lifelong pursuit. Throughout the memoir, Hudson paints a vivid picture of life in the pampas during the late 19th century, providing readers with a unique glimpse into a world that has long since vanished. The book is considered a classic of English literature and is widely regarded as one of the greatest works of autobiographical writing ever written.1918. The first eighteen years of William Hudson�������s life were spent on the Argentinian pampas. Although he was a scholarly ornithologist, every page of this book reveals a rapturous delight in the wildlife of the pampas, animal or human. He mixed with cutthroat gauchos, pursued ostriches, explored lagoons, and allowed burrowing armadillos to drag him elbow-deep into the earth. A wonderful read.
