Aprašymas

Whether we believe it or not, rapid change is upon us. I am searching for grace.

In this time of political fragility, climate chaos and seeking beauty wherever we can find its glimmer, Terry Tempest Williams introduces us to the Glorians. They are not distant deities, but the ordinary, often overlooked presences - animal, plant, memory, moment - that reveal our interconnectedness with the natural world, as small as an ant ferrying a blossom to its queen or as commonplace as the night sky. But what they can collectively show us - about the radical act of attending to beauty and carrying forward against all odds - is immense.

Journeying through encounters with the Glorians in the red rock desert of Utah to Harvard University where she teaches in the Divinity School, Williams weaves a story of astonishing personal and societal insight. Wise and lyrical, The Glorians is a field guide to finding grace in the unexpected and a moving invitation to engage with one another and our surroundings with renewed appreciation.
