Golden Eagles: Legendary Birds of Prey
For centuries, the golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) has been the archetype of the majestic bird of prey. The awe-inspiring birds have fascinated people of all cultures around the world with their proud appearance, the impressive wingspan of six to eight feet, amazing flying skills and much more. They are omnipresent in numerous fairy tales, myths, symbols, coats of arms, and state insignia.

The book is a stunning homage in black and white to the sovereign of the skies. The reader is presented with and captivated by well-founded background knowledge, remarkable personal anecdotes and reflections, as well as fairy tales, poems, quotes and short stories.

The fact that Heinz M. Gut only takes pictures of wild animals in their natural environment without any intervention lends a special quality to the book. The range of images extends from almost anatomical studies of the golden eagle, via pictures in which light reflections on the plumage play a central role, to poetic-looking images depicting the bird of prey in its spectacular rough and rugged habitat.
