William Henry Hudson (1841-1922), an Argentinean ornithologist, naturalist and writer, was of British origin. He is a founding member of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, in Great Britain, where he settled in 1869. It was his books on the English countryside which brought about a return-to-nature movement in the 1920s and 1930s and established his reputation in Europe. Among his numerous works, those translated into French are: Vertes Demeures (Seuil, 1984, out-of-print), Sous le vent de la pampa (Payot, Voyageurs, 2002), Un flaneur en Patagonie (Payot, Voyageurs, 2002), Contes mephitiques (J'ai lu, 2011) and Terre pourpre (La Table Ronde, 2012). Mycologist Patrick Reumaux is also a poet, novelist and translator. An expert on mushrooms, particularly of the Cortinarius and Russula genera, he has published numerous articles on mushrooms in mycology's leading scientific journals. Featured in the same collection is his book on poisonous mushrooms, Les Tueurs.
