Opis

What if nature had a voice, a language of its own that goes unheard due to our human blindspot? This volume gathers thirteen stories that invite us to explore the intricate dance of life unfolding all around us, hidden within our daily interactions. In each story, we'll encounter the science and spirit of the natural world, brought to life through rich descriptions that blur the lines between the human and the nonhuman. As you turn the pages, you'll find yourself drawn into a realm where rocks, winds, birds, crickets, fire, and water each carry their unique narratives, interwoven with the human experience. "Voices of Nature" extends an invitation to perceive the world anew, to attune our senses to the tales whispered by nature. It's an opportunity to contemplate existence from the standpoint of a thing, transcending mere humanity. What is it like to be a thing? Prepare to embark on a transformative journey that highlights the profound connections that exist between all living things.

O autorze

Loredana Filip is a thing in a world of things - a walking contradiction. Poor and privileged, she's a first-generation student, a Romanian immigrant in Germany for a decade, a literature scholar with a passion for science. The naughty nerd who revels in book gatherings and wild nights of dancing, and the naïve cynic who questions and yet trusts everything. A romantic who mocks sentimental displays of affection while secretly dreaming of stargazing with a soulmate. Fumbling through guitar strings, theatrical displays, and natural landscapes, she embodies the goofy philosopher, yearning for knowledge yet knowing so little. Loredana is a technophile Luddite who delves into coding, captures nature through her lens, and curates plant stories online. A scholar whose career is to love her daughter, she seeks to weave together stones, winds, birds, and others into a symphony of existence.
