The Man Who Loves Giants by David Shepherd

The Man Who Loves Giants by David Shepherd

In this book David Shepherd describes his full and varied life, from his early career as an aviation artist with the RAF to his encounters with African wildlife and his work on the East Somerset Railway, of which he is founder and Chairman. Although he is best known as a wildlife artist, his subjects range from landscapes to locomotives, and from portraits to aircraft. The book also tells of the author's world travels - he has travelled the world in nuclear bombers, helicopters, HMS Ark Royal, a Lancaster bomber and a submarine - and of his work for wildlife preservation. He has been awarded the Order of the Golden Ark for his services to conservation.

David Shepherd is professor of Russian and director of the Bakhtin Centre at the University of Sheffield. He is the author of Beyond Metafiction: Self-Consciousness in Soviet Literature (1992); editor of Bakhtin: Carnival, and Other Subjects (1993); co-editor with Ken Hirschkop of Bakhtin and Cultural Theory (1989, 1998) and co-editor with Catriona Kelly of Constructing Russian Culture in the Age of Revolution (1998) and Russian Cultural Studies: An Introduction (1998). His current research is focused on the intellectual contexts of the Bakhtin Circle.
