Description
This remarkable book offers a new vision of what it means to be human in the natural world. Sumana Roy's journey is one of growing disillusionment with the world around her, and a deepening fascination with the wisdom of trees.
Through a unique blend of memoir, literary history, nature studies, spiritual philosophies, and botanical research, Roy explores the ways in which humans have long been drawn to the natural world. She delves into the work of writers, scientists, and spiritual figures who have sought to understand the secrets of trees and plants.
Partly a personal exploration, part a broader inquiry into our relationship with nature, How I Became a Tree is a book that will prompt readers to think about themselves and their place in the world in fresh ways. It is a truly original work of art that will appeal to anyone interested in exploring the boundaries between humans and the natural world.
