Strange tales of nature and men

(4 Sterne)
Recurring themes of nature, death, time and mankind. Some real gems but quite a few are inscrutable. Author clearly very concerned with man turning his back on nature. 4 stars as a terrific reading with good intonation.

the stories in this book are quite unique. they are short and weird and you can feel meaning behind them even if it's sometimes hard to grasp.
Fantastic tales, fantastically read.
