Urgent questions

Urgent questions by Margaret Atwood ... This is a book that does not leave its reader as they are, but pushes them to see the world with new eyes, increasing their insight and concern for everything and everyone around them. It will not only increase their interest in the fate of humans on Earth, but also in plants, animals, birds, and even algae and insects, they will realize that there is no separation between us and nature, she is us and we are her. Many are the topics and fields that the Canadian novelist Margaret Atwood approaches in "Urgent Questions," and notably she always does so with insight, wisdom, and encyclopedic knowledge that is not lacking in a spirit of humor. Atwood writes about forests and the history of trees with the same depth as she writes about the history of the novel and the horizons of dystopian novels, and she examines environmental issues and economics carefully, as well as the concept of beauty, fashion evolution, or tarot cards. But whatever she writes about, enjoyment is present because she excels at turning even the most complex topics into an engaging story that captures attention, charged with drama and comedy at the same time. In "Urgent Questions," we stand at the most important challenges of our era and its concerns, guided by the insights of one of the brightest contemporary minds, to learn with her and through her much about our world, our history, and consequently ourselves.
