1
I don't usually try to make my books as they come out better known by putting them onto social media
2
but I make an exception in the case of this book which has just come out last week called Essays.
3
What I have learnt about myself and the world with cover with me in my woodland path.
4
I'm doing that because I've been surprised,
5
indeed enormously warmed by the reception of a few of the
6
key people who've been involved in the process of bringing this book to publication.
7
I remember it as a book
8
which I wrote at the suggestion of my wife shortly after Covid
9
when she said write down what you've learned about your life
10
and so on and I started to dictate some short essays
11
and I greatly enjoyed it
12
and it ended up in 240 very short essays roughly modeled on the idea
13
and memory of Montaigne's essays but much much shorter.
14
And when recently I thought I would publish it, I thought, well, this is a useful book and I want it out there.
15
But some of the people, several of the people who were closely acquainted with it, thought it was really special.
16
And so I'll indicate their views by quoting them a little bit.
17
But basically to tell you of the structure, it is, as I say,
18
a number of essays on anything that struck me as useful and interesting and quirky.
19
For example, under the letter L, it's alphabetical, on the leaning tower of Pisa,
20
on liberty, on libraries, on limited good,
21
on loneliness, on losing, on love, on lying.
22
Well that's a tiny cross section and you can see that it covers serious and less serious subjects.
23
So what do my colleagues and friends say about it?
24
Well there's a forward by our close friend Baron JC von Fetten
25
and he writes as a Frenchman who was a great admirer of Montaigne
26
that in some ways my essays are go beyond Montaigne.
27
They are shorter, more succinct, more accessible.
28
And he starts his short forward as follows.
29
Essays may well constitute Alan MacFarlane's ultimate contribution to human knowledge.
30
It is written for scholars and the wider public alike.
31
The book is the result of 60 years of deep anthropological research conducted across the world,
32
using observation as its primary method and extracting knowledge through a rigorous process of analysis and reflection.
33
The reader will therefore find in each essay a remarkably practical set of insights and answers.
34
And he ends, after decades of experience, research and reflection, and after writing dozens of books,
35
McFarland has succeeded in turning his analytical gaze both upon the world and upon himself.
36
The result is essays, a work that distils lifetime search for wisdom.
37
The second person who has commented was the person who edited the book,
38
my friend Irene Galstian, and she's written about this several times in emails,
39
but this is a small extract from one email.
40
As you become a long-time reader of these essays, their effect on you goes to a different level.
41
And this is where they truly shine.
42
Well, shine is too vigorous a word for what I am trying to describe.
43
It's more like a glow.
44
With repeated reading, these little talks are calming in a way that can't be explained by their intellectual content alone. So those are two.
45
And then there's a wonderful postscript by Qin Yuchen,
46
who is translating the book into Chinese.
47
And I'll just read one part of her remarkable and beautiful postface.
48
What the letters do for me is what these essays did when I first read them.
49
They come in like air from outside.
50
The anxiety of my generation is real enough.
51
The rungs, as he put it, have gone from the ladder we were all brought up to climb.
52
What struck me was how precisely these small essays answer that predicament.
53
A letter written at first light by an 80-year-old grandfather,
54
who is also one of the great historical anthropologists of his time,
55
lifts you clear of all that and sets you down somewhere higher up and further off, from which the trouble is visible in its true proportion.
56
Old, general, survivable, shared with everyone who has ever lived.
57
We are not the first age of anxiety, he says, nor will we be the last.
58
I know of no better remedy.
59
And indeed, some of these essays which have gone up onto social media like YouTube and Chinese social media
60
have elicited those same sentiments from people who have heard them.
61
So, as I say, it's on Amazon Essays by Helen McFarlane,
62
and I think you may share their feeling.
63
It's a book which has a lot of my final and deeper reflections in it,
64
and I'm proud that my close friends anyway, think it's really worthwhile.
65
Thank you.

Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest
Der Sprecher verwendet 9 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel I'll, I'm, can't. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.
- Die „th“-Laute: anthropological /æn.θɹə.pəˈlɑd͡ʒikəl/, anthropologist /ˌæn.θɹoʊˈpɑl.ə.d͡ʒɪst/, worthwhile /ˌwɜː(ɹ)θˈwaɪl/
- Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: alphabetical /ˌæl.fəˈbɛt.ɪ.kəl/, anthropological /æn.θɹə.pəˈlɑd͡ʒikəl/, anthropologist /ˌæn.θɹoʊˈpɑl.ə.d͡ʒɪst/, predicament /pɹɪˈdɪkəmənt/, analytical /ˌæn.əˈlɪt.ɪ.kəl/

- Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: woodland /ˈwʊd.lənd/, gaze /ɡeɪz/, colleague /ˈkɒliːɡ/
- /æ/ — offener als „ä“: extract /ˈɛkstɹækt/, admirer /ædˈmaɪ.ɹɚ/, alphabetical /ˌæl.fəˈbɛt.ɪ.kəl/, anthropological /æn.θɹə.pəˈlɑd͡ʒikəl/, anthropologist /ˌæn.θɹoʊˈpɑl.ə.d͡ʒɪst/

- Sprich Satz für Satz in normaler Geschwindigkeit nach und wiederhole jeden, bis dein Rhythmus zum Sprecher passt.
- Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie litter, extract, acquaint.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
