Portrayal of Avian Aesthetics and the Language of Winged Migrants in Stephen Alter’s Wild Himalaya

Magic of Wonders and Emotional Connectivity are two different characteristics in the field of Ecocriticism. For Eco-critics, a world is a narrow space, not a wide space. They see everything through the lens of science and literature. Every study has a specific boundary to explore the wonders of the world. The American writer, Stephen Alter chooses ‘Himalayas’ as his research boundary where his journey informs the magic of wonders from the living organisms and emotional connectivity from the experience. Wild Himalaya serves as a book of scientific knowledge through historical storytelling. Realistic examples provoke the readers to understand his writing style. There are various chapters covering human and nature around the location. This article studies more on Aves and Insects, especially butterflies around Himalayas through the perspective of the writer and with several ecocritical ideas.
