The dream of a tree

The explosive finale of Maja Lunde's Climate Quartet

Svalbard 2110: Far in the north, deep in the mountains, lies a treasure trove filled with plant seeds from around the world. Tommy grows up in this otherwise barren, merciless landscape with his two brothers and his grandmother - the guardian of the seeds. Many years ago, contact with other countries was severed here at the North Pole, and an attempt was made to live in harmony with nature. But then Svalbard is struck by a catastrophe - and Tommy's family is among the few survivors. Six people on a deserted island, with a treasure that the world believed was lost. At the same time, but far away, Tao is haunted by memories of her son Wei-Wen, whom she lost twelve years ago. Like all her fellow countrymen, she is starving, as nature has been completely exhausted and countless species have vanished from the Earth. But everything could change when Tao is asked to lead an expedition. Their destination: Svalbard. Unabridged reading with Bibiana Beglau, Benito Bause, 2 MP3 CDs, approx. 14h 30min.
