The World-Ending Fire

The Essential Wendell Berry

Author  Wendell Berry Introduction by  Paul Kingsnorth
The World-Ending Fire

The most comprehensive―and only author-authorized―Wendell Berry reader, "America's greatest philosopher on sustainable life and living" (Chicago Tribune).

In a time when our relationship to the natural world is ruled by the violence and greed of unbridled consumerism, Wendell Berry speaks out in these prescient essays, drawn from his fifty-year campaign on behalf of American lands and communities.
