Description

A novel about the interplay between nature and humankind, Storm is an epic account of humanity's relationship to and dependence on the natural world. In 1941, George R. Stewart wrote a groundbreaking work that invented a new genre of fiction: the eco-novel. When a ship reports an unusual barometric reading from the far western Pacific, a junior meteorologist in the Weather Bureau notices the anomaly and plots its progress on the weather map. As the storm, dubbed Maria, develops and surges towards the United States, it brings long-needed rain, flooded roads, deep snows, accidents, and death. Through the eyes of various individuals, Stewart tracks the storm's impact, exploring the complex web of human relationships with the natural world. This novel is a thought-provoking exploration of our connection to the environment, and its themes remain relevant today.
