Reverence takes on a new meaning in this original memoir of an avid gardener walking the Camino de Santiago. The Camino de Santiago has been a journey for pilgrims for more than 1,000 years, testing--to varying degrees--their spirit, faith, and physical endurance. Lyndon Penner's attention lies elsewhere. A renowned gardener and lover of literature, he revels in the plants, trees, and flowers that tell the history of the people and ecology of northern Spain. Brimming with wry observations--of nature, himself, and other pilgrims on the road--The Way of the Gardener reveals the beauty and the darkness of the human condition while underscoring the deeply fascinating nature of nature itself. This textured work makes for perfect armchair--or garden--reading. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Much more than your typical travelogue, Penner concentrates the majority of the book on the plants that he observed along the walk. And he REALLY loves plants! At times I felt I was walking along with my college professor and his Plant Identification class. Like my professor, Penner finds interesting tidbits about every plant he comes across. And describes them very well, in an easy, conversational manner. You can learn a lot from this book!
I also liked the author's insights into his own personality. He enjoys his own company, feels a bit uncomfortable around others, and has some definite strong opinions (especially about smoking). Even though I got the impression that he could be a bit of a curmudgeon, I still think that I would enjoy walking with him.
A good read. (
