Der Autor beschreibt seinen Garten in Israel, in dem er Wildpflanzen ansiedelt. Sehr vieles war mir völlig fremd, sowohl die Bezüge zur israelischen Geschichte als auch viele der genannten Pflanzen. Sehr unterhaltsam. Der literarischen Empfehlung des Autors bin ich gefolgt und lese nun Willa Cather. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"A joyful round of the seasons in the garden of the best-selling novelist, memoirist, and champion putterer with a wheelbarrow. On the perimeter of Israel's Jezreel Valley, with the Carmel Mountains rising up to the west, Meir Shalev has a large garden, "neither neatly organized nor well-kept," as he cheerfully explains. Often covered in mud and scrapes, Shalev cultivates both nomadic plants and "house dwellers," using his own quirky techniques. He extolls the virtues of the lemon tree; rescues a precious variety of purple snapdragon from the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway; does battle with a saboteur mole rat. He even gives us his superior private recipe for curing olives. The book will attract gardeners and literary readers alike, with its appreciation for the joy of living, quite literally, on earth, and for our borrowed time on a particular patch of it--enhanced, the author continually reminds us, by our honest, respectful dealings with all manner of beings who inhabit it with us"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
