Description: "The philosopher Byung-Chul Han spent three springs, summers, autumns and winters in his secret garden in Berlin, devoting himself to daily gardening in all weathers. The Earth is not a dead, mute landscape but an eloquent, living being. Sometimes it just takes a spade, a packet of seeds and a pair of sturdy boots to realise it"--
Review Quotes:
"This is a book of exquisite beauty filled with the scents and colours of flowers and quiet changing of seasons in the author's Berlin garden. But more than that, it is a book of profound wisdom, a calm and deeply welcome antidote to the harshness of our troubled world."
Esther Woolfson, author of and Corvus
"Steeped in German philosophy and high culture, Han's reflections... will yield for patient readers subtle and lovely insights... This poetic volume will nourish gardeners and nature lovers."
