After London Or Wild England Hardback - 2010

After London Or Wild England by Richard Jefferies is a post-apocalyptic novel set in the late 22nd century, after a catastrophic event has caused the collapse of civilization in England. The story follows the adventures of a young man named Felix Aquila, who sets out on a journey across the now wild and untamed landscape of England. Along the way, he encounters various groups of people and animals, as well as strange and mysterious ruins of the past. Through his travels, Felix learns about the history of the world before the disaster, and the ways in which humanity has changed since then. The novel explores themes of survival, adaptation, and the relationship between humans and nature. It is a classic work of science fiction and a fascinating glimpse into a possible future for humanity.When the ancients departed, great numbers of their cattle perished. It was not so much the want of food as the inability to endure exposure that caused their death; a few winters are related to have so reduced them that they died by hundreds, many mangled by dogs. The hardiest that remained became perfectly wild, and the wood cattle are now more difficult to approach than deer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
