Description

We live in an age of disappearance. Every day, species become extinct. Their heir demise not only empoverishes our natural wealth; we ourselves lose the colours and sounds we need for sharpening our senses, a reservoir from which human culture has drawn for thousands of years.
What does the disappearence of the diversity of species mean for our way of thinking – a diversity that used to be an inspiration for our imagination?
Marcel Robischon invites the reader on a poetic journey around the world; a journey full of adventure, wonder and insight. It takes us to England, America and the endless expanse of the Pacific Ocean – and opens our eyes to the fading beauty of the world.
