Wendell Berry and the Cultivation of Life is a systematic overview of Berry's life and work and a concise introduction to his cultural and spiritual themes. It demonstrates the power of Berry's vision and shows how his account of the world resonates with the bibical narrative of creation. This book confronts readers with the question persistantly raised in Berry's works. How can we sustain meaningful lives against the background of a consumeristic, dislocated age? |
