Un mundo asombroso

Poet Aimee Nezhukumatathil surprises us with a collection of essays on the natural world, revealing how animals and plants can teach and inspire us. As a child, Aimee lived in different places: Kansas, Arizona, New York, Ohio... But, no matter how difficult it was for her to fit in or how threatening the environment was, she always had as guides the creatures that populate the planet . In this book of enormous wealth, the author addresses some thirty natural beings and gives us a glimpse of the wonders and rarities that surround us. The axolotl, for example, teaches us to smile despite the pain; the nometoches helps us get rid of unwanted propositions, while the narwhal shows us that it is possible to survive in hostile environments. Even in the strange and the unpleasant, Aimee finds beauty and affinity.
