Krátký popis
The Garden Against Time is the No.1 Sunday Times bestseller from
acclaimed writer Olivia Laing; a passionate, epic exploration of
the power and possibilities of gardens.When Olivia Laing began to
restore a walled garden in Suffolk, an overgrown Eden of unusual
plants, the work drew them into an exhilarating investigation of
paradise and its long association with gardens.Moving between the
real and the imagined, from Milton’s Paradise Lost to a wartime
sanctuary in Italy, to a grotesque aristocratic pleasure ground
funded by slavery, Laing interrogates the sometimes shocking cost
of making paradise on earth.But the story of the garden can also be
a place of rebel outposts and communal dreams, from the improbable
queer utopia conjured by Derek Jarman on the beach at Dungeness to
the vision of a common Eden cultivated by William Morris. New modes
of living can and have been attempted amidst the flower beds,
experiments that could prove vital in the coming era of radical
change.
