Paul Kingsnorth Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
1. január 1972
Paul Kingsnorth je anglický spisovateľ a mysliteľ, známy svojou hlbokou kritikou modernej spoločnosti a jej dopadu na prírodu. Ako spoluzakladateľ projektu Dark Mountain vyzýva k literárnemu a umeleckému hnutiu reagujúcemu na ekologické a ekonomické otrasy. Jeho diela skúmajú témy ako strata spojenia s prírodou, dôsledky globalizácie a hľadanie zmyslu v ére neistoty. Kingsnorthov štýl je prenikavý a poetický, často sa obracia k prírodným metaforám a skúma hlboké prepojenie medzi človekom a svetom okolo neho. Jeho písanie je výzvou k zamysleniu sa nad naším miestom vo svete a nad cestou, ktorou sme sa vydali.

With lyrical evocations of nature and the wild, this book features essays that have charted the change in Kingsnorth's thinking. It articulates a vision that he calls 'dark ecology,' which stands firmly in opposition to the belief that technology can save us, and he argues for a renewed balance between the human and nonhuman worlds.

"It could turn out to be the biggest political movement of the twenty-first century: a global coalition of millions, united in resisting an out-of-control global economy, and already building alternatives to it. It emerged in Mexico in 1994, when the Zapatista rebels rose up in defiance of the North American Free Trade Agreement. The West first noticed it in Seattle in 1999, when the WTO was stopped in its tracks by 50,000 protesters. Since then, it has flowered all over the world." "But what exactly is it? To find out, Paul Kingsnorth travelled across five continents to visit some of the movement's epicentres. Along the way, he found a new political idea. Not socialism, not capitalism, not any 'ism' at all, it is united in what it opposes, and deliberately diverse in what it wants instead - a politics of 'one no, many yeses'. This movement may yet change the world. This book tells its story."--BOOK JACKET
