图书描述

A monumental novel about trees and people by one of our most "prodigiously talented" (The New York Times Book Review) novelists.

An Air Force loadmaster in the Vietnam War is shot out of the sky, then saved by falling into a banyan. An artist inherits a hundred years of photographic portraits, all of the same doomed American chestnut. A hard-partying undergraduate in the late 1980s electrocutes herself, dies, and is sent back into life by creatures of air and light. A hearing- and speech-impaired scientist discovers that trees are communicating with one another. These four, and five other strangers―each summoned in different ways by trees―are brought together in a last and violent stand to save the continent’s few remaining acres of virgin forest.

In his twelfth novel, National Book Award winner Richard Powers delivers a sweeping, impassioned novel of activism and resistance that is also a stunning evocation of―and paean to―the natural world. From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, The Overstory unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond, exploring the essential conflict on this planet: the one taking place between humans and nonhumans. There is a world alongside ours―vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.

The Overstory is a book for all readers who despair of humanity’s self-imposed separation from the rest of creation and who hope for the transformative, regenerating possibility of a homecoming. If the trees of this earth could speak, what would they tell us? "Listen. There’s something you need to hear."

A calming book. A book that occasionally spills out wisdom of value, almost seemingly unintentionally. A book that relates me to something much bigger. Its grand, infinite shadow warmed my soul by making other things insignificant.

Contrived and cliched.

官方判定我的鉴赏能力还有待提高。这本普利策小说奖得主我真心觉得一般。文笔还可以，但是太多的名词堆砌，大部分是短句，缺乏长句的调和，读起来节奏感很差。情节方面可以说大气，也可以说只有躯干毫不丰满，时间跨度很大，一个人的一生几页就没了，所以对于人物的刻画约等于零。好吧，这可是普利策小说奖得主呀！是我的问题，我闭嘴了...

10% into the book I felt this would be the kind of books that a reader fascinated with trees should like, but somewhere in my mind there was a strange reservation, a suspicion that the author may not deliver on the promises. 30% into the book I was disappoi...
