'He is unlike anybody else writing today ... After Donald Trump's election, we urgently need to rediscover the best of radical America. An essential part of that story is Wendell Berry. Few of us can live, or even aspire to, his kind of life. But nobody can risk ignoring him' Andrew Marr
'Wendell Berry is the most important writer and thinker that you have (probably) never heard of. He is an American sage' James Rebanks, author of The Shepherd's Life
Wendell Berry is 'something of an anachronism'. He began his life as theold times and the last of the old-time people were dying out, andcontinues to this day in the old ways: a team of work horses and apencil are his preferred working tools. The writings gathered in The World-Ending Fire arethe unique product of a life spent farming the fields of rural Kentuckywith mules and horses, and of the rich, intimate knowledge of the landcultivated by this work. These are essays written in defiance of thefalse call to progress, and in defence of the local landscapes thatprovide our cultural heritage, our history, our home.
In a time whenour relationship to the natural world is ruled by the violence and greedof unbridled consumerism, Wendell Berry speaks out to defend the landwe live on. With grace and conviction, he shows that we simply cannotafford to succumb to the mass-produced madness that drives our globaleconomy. The natural world will not withstand it.
Yet he also shareswith us a vision of consolation and of hope. We may be locked in anuneven struggle, but we can and must begin to treat our land, ourneighbours, and ourselves with respect and care. We must, as Berryurges, abandon arrogance and stand in awe.
