‘A truly powerful paean to the night sky’ CAROLINE EDEN, author of Black Sea ________________________________________________________________ At a time of personal crisis, travel writer and ‘dark sky’ advocate Megan Eaves-Egenes turned to the stars for solace. But those same stars, which have guided humankind since the very earliest cultures, are vanishing. As nocturnal cities bleach our skies – which are becoming 10% brighter every year – are we also losing our connection with everything that can come from darkness too? To explore her deep curiosity about the night sky, Eaves-Egenes embarks on a journey that takes her from New Zealand to Uzbekistan, Ireland to Argentina, the Himalaya to Japan, discovering the many ways that different cultures have mapped, mythologised and feared the darkness. She meets the extraordinary communities that have made it their mission to understand, preserve and celebrate the beauty of their night skies, learning to see darkness in a whole new way. Blending travel with myth, history and self-discovery, Nightfaring is a profound and often startling journey through the endangered night, revealing its capacity to enchant and connect us. _________________________________________________________________ ‘A raw, multisensory journey into the less-trodden nocturnal world’ Stephanie Vermilion, author of 100 Nights of a Lifetime ‘Insightful … reminds us of all that being in the dark brings alive’ PAUL BOGARD, author of The End of Night ‘There's a deep love of the night sky woven into every sentence, and a powerful lesson for humanity as it fakes a nocturnal existence: only in the stillness of night can we see the light’ JAMIE CARTER, FORBES
