Quercus - Aus dem Leben einer Eiche

Even trees have a story. In the countless signs and traces inscribed in their bark, the shape of their branches, and their alliances with other living beings, this story becomes readable. Laurent Tillon's poetic, philosophical, and scientific book tells the moving and adventurous life of his tree companion, the two hundred forty-year-old oak Quercus. Through her adventures, quiet struggles, and unexpected alliances, Tillon subtly intertwines Quercus' story with that of the entire forest and a vibrant community of beetles and salamanders, forest and bats, woodpeckers, owls, earthworms, and ultimately with that of humans.

His narrative allows us to dive into a fascinating microcosm and experience firsthand how intricately our lives are woven together with those of trees and forests.
