Discover how all trees can mirror us, teach us and heal
us.&,nbsp, As author Alice Peck reflected on the maple tree in
her backyard, she began to notice and then study its intricacies
and changes. This became her regular meditation and inspiration. In
Be More Tree, Alice shares what she has learnt from that maple
tree, and from the trees all around us. Every tree tells a complete
and ongoing story – from its powerful taproots to the birds that
alight on its fragile high branches. Trees reflect our lives
through their perseverance and seasonal rhythms – always changing
yet consistent. They evolve along a much more protracted timetable
than humans. Like us, trees feel and react to their environment,
and communicate with us in subtle but distinct ways. Here Alice
explores trees from four perspectives: their roots – wisdom and
understanding, their branches – symbols and rituals, their leaves –
healing and science, and their seeds – transformation and
spirituality. All of these elements show us how, although they live
outside us, trees offer a path to our inner selves. From the Bodhi
Tree to the Garden of Eden, the Druids to forest monks, medicines
to tyre swings – people have always received physical,
psychological and spiritual sustenance from trees. Filled with
insights from botany to poetry, ecology to mythology and herbalism
to sacraments, Be More Tree explores the ways these grounded yet
soaring entities can steady and move us, teach and transform us,
inspire and comfort us.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
