How do you depict the nature around us in a time when it is threatened? What can the prose of nature teach us about the wondrous wealth that is still out there, and with which we have increasingly lost our natural touch?
Perhaps our foremost nature portrayer of today, Tomas Bannerhed, comes with a new book that picks up where the acclaimed En beautiful day left off. His very best nature texts from the last decade are collected here, texts in which he enters into a curious dialogue with our great nature portrayers, and at the same time sheds new light on bees, flowers, freshwater fish and beavers. But don't worry, there will also be birds - for example, a great sparrow that lets its call sound over a Småland bog. Hemma vid myren is illustrated just like the previous book by the artist Mattias Bäcklin. It also includes a newly written introductory essay by the author.
"The shorter and longer stories form a patchwork where almost all the pieces fit as in the most fine-tuned ecosystem, but leave blank spaces for the reader's own thoughts. [] The language flows like a spring stream, letting the reader see and feel with him." 5 of 5, Uno Nilsson, BTJ
