Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2019.
Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2018.
The New York Times best seller.
A wondrous, exhilarating novel about nine strangers brought together by an unfolding natural catastrophe.
An artist inherits 100 years of photographic portraits, all of the same doomed American chestnut. A hard-partying undergraduate in the late 1980s electrocutes herself, dies and is sent back into life by creatures of air and light. A hearing and speech-impaired scientist discovers that trees are communicating with one another. An Air Force crew member in the Vietnam War is shot out of the sky, then saved by falling into a banyan.
This is the story of these and five other strangers, each summoned in different ways by the natural world, who are brought together in a last stand to save it from catastrophe.
Kritikerstimmen

Geschichte
Theo Byrne is a promising young astrobiologist who has found a way to search for life on other planets dozens of light years away. He is also the widowed father of a most unusual nine-year-old. His son, Robin, is funny, loving and filled with plans. He thinks and feels deeply, adores animals and can spend hours painting elaborate pictures. He is also on the verge of being expelled from third grade, for smashing his friend's face with a metal thermos.

Geschichte
As a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning how to ask questions of nature using the tools of science. As a Potawatomi woman, she learned from elders, family, and history that the Potawatomi, as well as a majority of other cultures indigenous to this land, consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers.

Geschichte
Titan is the first full-length biography based on unrestricted access to Rockefeller’s exceptionally rich trove of papers. A landmark publication full of startling revelations, the book indelibly alters our image of this most enigmatic capitalist. Born the son of a flamboyant, bigamous snake-oil salesman and a pious, straitlaced mother, Rockefeller rose from rustic origins to become the world’s richest man by creating America’s most powerful and feared monopoly, Standard Oil. Branded "the Octopus" by legions of muckrakers, the trust refined and marketed nearly 90 percent of the oil produced in America.

Geschichte
Nobody needs telling that there isn't enough time. We're obsessed by our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, the struggle against distraction and the sense that our attention spans are shrivelling. Yet we rarely make the conscious connection that these problems only trouble us in the first place, thanks to the ultimate time-management problem: the challenge of how best to use our 4,000 weeks. Four Thousand Weeks is an uplifting, engrossing and deeply realistic exploration of this problem.

Annoying and monotonous Voice, check before buying
Its hard to write about how I like the story, as the Speaker is very annyoing to me.
I was looking forward to hear the story but the Voice made it impossible for me to enjoy it.
I dont understand how such a highly praised book can be read by a Voice like this. Nothing personal Suzanne, maybe its just my personal taste. Check before buying!

great audiobook
however i didnt like that the speaker spoke in accents for the foreign characters and in (for a lack of a better word) hearing-disability accent for a character with a hearing disability. that was extremely offputting and frankly seemed kind of racist and ableist in 2019.

Inspiring, epic storytelling
This novel reads like a true story of all of our lives. The individual destiny of each of the characters are woven into an unforgettable drama about the salvation of our ecosystem. Powers is a master of the language, and we can only be grateful that he has employed his artistic talent for such a worthwhile cause. Trees are much more a part of us than most of us are aware. This book should be required reading for every human on the planet.

Versuch ein Lehrbuch über Bäume in Romanform zu gießen
Dieser Versuch fällt sehr langatmig aus. Die verschiedenen Charaktere und Fäden der Geschichte werden nie wirklich zusammengefügt. Das Ende ist wenig befriedigend, im besten Fall wohl aufrüttelnd gemeint.
Allerdings gelingt es dem Autor, zum Nachdenken zum Umgang mit der Schöpfung anzuregen.
