It's a world of trees, where humans have just arrived' This is the story of a group of strangers, each summoned in different ways by the natural world, brought together to save it from catastrophe. An artist inherits a hundred years of photographic portraits, all of the same doomed American chestnut. A hard-partying undergraduate electrocutes herself, dies, and is sent back into life by creatures of air and light. A hearing- and speech-impaired scientist discovers that trees are communicating with one another. Moving through history and across landscapes, this tree-filled novel unfurls our…

An Air Force loadmaster in the Vietnam War is shot out of the sky, then saved by falling into a banyan. An artist inherits a hundred years of photographic portraits, all of the same doomed American chestnut.

2019. aasta Pulitzeri kirjanduspreemia võitja „Ilmapuu” on mastaapne ja kirglikult kirjutatud raamat inimestest ja nende suhetest loodusega, ülistuslaul puude tarkusele ja koputus inimkonna südamele. Ameerika kirjaniku Richard Powersi (snd 1957) kaheteistkümnenda romaani alljaotustes „Juured”, „Tüvi”, „Võra” ja „Seemned” põimuvad üheksa inimese eluteed, kuid peategelasteks on puud oma iidsete tarkuste ja keskse paigaga meie hapras ökosüsteemis. Ameerika suureks ökoromaaniks tituleeritud „Ilmapuu” näitab, et meie kõrval on teine maailm – tohutu, hiiglaslik, omavahel ühendatud, lõpmata leidlik, kuid meie endi jaoks peaaegu nähtamatu. See on…

he Overstory is a sweeping, impassioned work of activism and resistance that is also a stunning evocation of—and paean to—the natural world. From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, Richard Powers’s twelfth novel unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. There is a world alongside ours—vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.

Художник получает в наследство огромную пачку фотографий, на которых запечатлен один гигантский каштан. Студентка умирает от удара током, но ее воскрешают призраки из воздуха и света. Ученая делает открытие о том, что деревья способны общаться друг с другом. Во время Вьетнамской войны солдат, выброшенный взрывом из подбитого самолета, выживает, упав в ветки баньяна. Все эти люди и еще пять незнакомцев постепенно выясняют, что рядом с нами существует другой мир – огромный, медленный, взаимосвязанный и практически невидимый для человека. Это история тех, кто научился видеть этот мир, и теперь они призваны защитить его от неминуемой…
