Teaching a Stone to Talk illuminates the world around us and showcases Dillard in all her enigmatic genius.

Über den Autor
Annie Dillard is among the greatest nature writers who have ever lived. Like Thoreau, like Gilbert White, she combines a naturalist's sharp eye with a philosopher's curiosity and a poet's magical gift for language. Keen, urgent and impassioned, her subject is life itself, in all its teeming and marvellous forms
