ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Overstory by Richard Powers intricately weaves together the lives of several seemingly unconnected individuals who gradually become aware of the hidden world of trees and their vital importance. The narrative explores how these characters come to understand the profound interconnectedness between humanity and the natural world, particularly forests. As their understanding deepens, they confront the destructive forces threatening these essential ecosystems and are drawn into unexpected forms of activism and advocacy. The story delves into themes of environmentalism, the intrinsic value of nature, and the urgent need for a shift in human perception regarding our relationship with the living planet.
