In precise and poetic language, Franck Maubert composes an incredible ode to nature as the promise of a free world.

Franck Maubert loves going for solitary strolls, senses alert to every last detail. In these seventeen short pieces, he takes us along. Reverie, mystery, questions about nature's beauty, countless tales of trees, animals, rivers, flowers, stones, sky, light, roots pushing through the soil. By turns entomologist, mycologist, fisherman, botanist, and just a man out for a walk, Maubert examines the world around him with acuity and a thirst for knowledge, finding a thousand reasons to love nature and inviting us to get to know it better, for the pure pleasure of discovery and observation.
