Book summary

Can a literary text contribute to the reform of the ecological imagination of its readers, or even incite them to concrete environmental action? This collective work attempts to answer this question by focusing on literary texts that are firmly anchored in the contemporaneity of their authors (whether or not they write in our time), i.e. texts that not only address environmental issues that are current at the time of writing, but also, without claiming to prophesy about the future, show their development by integrating them into a plot set in authentic biotopes.
