In this book, Brutus Ostling has chosen to visit the realm of the eagles, especially the Sea or White-tailed Eagle and the Golden Eagle, but we also meet other birds such as gulls, eider ducks and forest grouse - birds that are at home in the same biotope as these magnificent birds of prey. Brutus Ostling's unmistakable and unique photos are interspersed with reflections around the eagle in nature, and in our consciousness through history. Staffan Soderblom, well known for his lyrical descriptions of nature, has written the texts- sometimes these are a comment on the pictures; sometimes they widen the perspective and deepen the interpretation.
