Opis
'A book for children from 8 to 80. I love the humanity of this story and how one man's efforts can change the future for so many.' - Michael Morpurgo, Independent
'[This] simple classic may just hold the secret to meaningful existence.' - Richard Powers, author of The Overstory
The Man Who Planted Trees was first published by Chelsea Green twenty years ago and it became a timeless classic. Now this beautiful gift edition is available for the first time in the UK, complete with reproductions of the original woodcut engravings.
In this ageless eco-fable about what one person can do to restore the earth, ElzeIard Bouffier spends his life planting one hundred acorns a day in a desolate, barren section of Provence in the south of France. The result is 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 Man Who Planted Trees has sold over a quarter of a million copies and inspired countless numbers of people around the world to take action and plant trees.
This edition includes a foreword by Wangari Maathai, winner of the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize and founder of the African Green Belt Movement.
'It has given me much joy to reread this story.' - Wendell Berry
