Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   ) keplerhc | Jan 22, 2024 |  Naturens krafter och samspelet mellan naturen och människan är ett ständigt återkommande ledmotiv hos Giono, vars kärlek till naturen grundlades redan under barndomens många strövtåg i hemtrakten och under en längre vistelse som sjuåring hos en herdefamilj uppe i bergen. CalleFriden | Feb 19, 2023 | Natt90 | Sep 26, 2022 | When you remembered that all this had sprung from the hands and the soul of this one man, without technical resources, you understood that humans could be as effectual as God in other realms than that of destruction. His efforts restore the forest, but that is the first step only...what happens after is that nature takes over and begins to replenish all the good things that have been lost. With the blossoming of nature, comes the restoration of the villages and the men. Hunters, climbing into the wilderness in pursuit of hares or wild boar, had of course noticed the sudden growth of little trees, but had attributed it to some natural caprice of the earth. That is why no one meddled with Elzeard Bouffier’s work. If he had been detected he would have had opposition. He was indetectable. Who in the villages or in the administration could have dreamed of such perseverance in a magnificent generosity? Seems sad, but accurate, to me that had he been “detected” he would have been stopped. It also seemed sad to me that he would never be appreciated or credited with what he had done. But, then, he did not do it for that reason. He was not seeking praise, he was seeking to restore the land, and he had done everything he set out, without any fanfare, to do.

Twenty years ago Chelsea Green published the first trade edition of The Man Who Planted Trees, a timeless eco-fable about what one person can do to restore the earth. The hero of the story, Elzéard Bouffier, spent his life planting one hundred acorns a day in a desolate, barren section of Provence in the south of France. The result was a total transformation of the landscape-from one devoid of life, with miserable, contentious inhabitants, to one filled with the scent of flowers, the songs of birds, and fresh, flowing water. Since our first publication, the book has sold over a quarter of a million copies and inspired countless numbers of people around the world to take action and plant trees. On National Arbor Day, April 29, 2005, Chelsea Green released a special twentieth anniversary edition with a new foreword by Wangari Maathai, winner of the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize and founder of the African Green Belt Movement.
