A uncommon memoir of incredible, mesmerizing brilliance - and a Swedish best retailer - by an entomologist captivated by the natural world and the hidden wonders of life, and which asks: What is it that drives the obsessively interested to exploration and the practice of collecting? Warm and funny, self-deprecating and contemplative, The Take flight Capture is a meditation on solitude, stillness, and the observation of beauty - whether it is found among pests or in skill. Weaving a fascinating web of associations, histories, and personal remembrances, the book starts with Fredrik Sjöberg's own experience as an entomologist on a tranquil, distant Swedish island and pulls in the stories of earlier heroic clinical expeditions to Burma and the wilderness of Kamchatka. As confounded by his different love of collecting flies as anyone, Sjöberg pauses to reflect on a range of ideas - the duration of time, skill, freedom - sketching into dialogue freelance writers such as Bruce Chatwin and D. H. Lawrence, and the lives of collectors such as René Edmond Malaise, inventor of the Malaise trap. Through the everyday to the unique, The Fly Capture revels in the wonders of the natural world.
