- Summary:
- "The philosopher Byung-Chul Han spent three springs, summers, autumns and winters in his secret garden in Berlin, devoting himself todaily gardening in all weathers. The Earth is not a dead, mute landscape but an eloquent, living being. Sometimes it just takes a spade, a packet of seeds and a pair of sturdy boots to realise it"-- Provided by publisher.
