The White Book
3.490 kr.Shortlisted for the Man Booker International 2018
From the author of The Vegetarian, winner of the Man Booker International Prize 2016
From the author of The Vegetarian and Human Acts comes a book like no other. The White Book is a meditation on colour, beginning with a list of white things. It is a book about mourning, rebirth and the tenacity of the human spirit. It is a stunning investigation of the fragility, beauty and strangeness of life.
Translated from the Korean by Deborah Smith.
Gathering Moss
3.690 kr.Living at the limits of our ordinary perception, mosses are a common but largely unnoticed element of the natural world. Gathering Moss is a beautifully written mix of science and personal reflection that invites readers to explore and learn from the elegantly simple lives of mosses.
In these interwoven essays, Robin Wall Kimmerer leads general readers and scientists alike to an understanding of how mosses live and how their lives are intertwined with the lives of countless other beings. Kimmerer explains the biology of mosses clearly and artfully, while at the same time reflecting on what these fascinating organisms have to teach us.
Drawing on her experiences as a scientist, a mother, and a Native American, Kimmerer explains the stories of mosses in scientific terms as well as within the framework of indigenous ways of knowing. In her book, the natural history and cultural relationships of mosses become a powerful metaphor for ways of living in the world.

Braiding Sweetgrass
3.690 kr.As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers.
In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two ways of knowledge together. Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, a mother, and a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings – asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass – offer us gifts and lessons, even if we’ve forgotten how to hear their voices. In a rich braid of reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world.
For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learn to give our own gifts in return.

Þegar Egill hitti tröllin Úr og Búr og fór með þeim til Feneyja
4.690 kr.Bókin segir frá því þegar íslenski myndlistar- og tónlistarmaðurinn Egill Sæbjörnsson vingaðist við tröllin Úr & Búr. Í stað þess að borða Egil, eins og flest annað mannfólk, fóru þau að herma eftir honum að búa til list og tóku svo yfir þegar Egill átti að koma fram fyrir hönd Íslands á Feneyjatvíæringnum 2017.
Í sköpunarverkum Egils er leikgleðin gjarnan umlykjandi. Samspil efnisheims og alheimsvitundar spretta fram í formi tónlistar, innsetninga, lifandi skúlptúra og ímyndaðra vina.
Í heimi sem er leynt og ljóst stjórnað af ýmsum öflum, sakleysislegum eða háalvarlegum, eru ímyndaðir vinir Egils, Úr og Búr, kannski undanþegin. Þeim eru fá takmörk sett.
Egill fékk innblástur til að þýða bókina á íslensku í kjölfar einkasýningar hans Egill Sæbjörnsson og óendanlegir vinir alheimsins á Listasafni Island 2023 – 2024. Á þessari sýningu bauð Egill óendanlega mörgum ímynduðum vinum sínum að taka þátt í samveru í hinum endalausa leikherbergi listarinnar sem sló í gegn hjá yngri áhorfendum á Íslandi.
