關於作者
Ernest Thompson Seton (1860–1946) was a pivotal figure in the transition from the 19th to the 20th century's approach to wildlife, storytelling, and the intersection of nature with human culture. An artist, naturalist, and writer, Seton was born in South Shields, England, but his family moved to Canada when he was six, which greatly influenced his affinity for the wilderness. His most renowned work, 'Animal Heroes' (1905), epitomizes his unique literary style — a blend of scientific observation with emotive narrative that has captivated readers by personifying animals in the wild. The book is a collection of stories that not only highlight the nobility of animals but also offer profound insights into their instincts and behaviors, serving to bridge the gap between humans and wildlife in a manner that was innovative at the time. Seton was a forerunner of the modern environmental movement, and his foundational role in the establishment of the Boy Scouts of America illustrates his commitment to educating youth on the importance of nature. Moreover, he was a prominent figure in wildlife conservation, advocating for ethical treatment of animals and emphasizing wildlife management, which was reflected through his literary contributions. His works remain significant in the canon of environmental literature, resonating with themes of empathy and understanding toward all living beings. Seton's storytelling and advocacy laid the groundwork for future conservationists and nature writers, making his contributions to literature and wildlife preservation enduringly influential.
