A comienzos del Siglo XVII Cartagena de Indias es la urbe más fascinante del nuevo mundo. En ella desembocan todas las rutas terrestres y marítimas del imperio español, pues en sus formidables fortificaciones se almacenan las reservas del oro y la plata destinadas a satisfacer las siempre acuciantes necesidades del Rey.

Forest bathing is a gentle, meditative practice of connecting with nature. Simply being present with all of our senses, in a forest or other wild area, can produce mental, emotional, and physical health benefits. It is a simple, accessible antidote to our nature-starved lives and can inspire us to become advocates for healing our relationships with the more-than-human world.

Con poche pennellate precise Amos Oz ricrea il microcosmo di un kibbutz israeliano negli anni Cinquanta. Dal giardiniere timido e solitario che ha la passione di dare brutte notizie, alla donna lasciata dal marito per un'altra che le vive praticamente accanto, dal vecchio elettricista che, con sbigottita discrezione, non riesce a capacitarsi dell'amore della figlia diciottenne per il suo insegnante di storia, al falegname pettegolo che in preda all'ira schiaffeggia il compagno delle elementari del figlio, dalle tentazioni sensuali del segretario del kibbutz durante la sua ronda notturna.

Jerusalem, 1959. Shmuel Ash, a biblical scholar, is adrift in his young life when he finds work as a caregiver for a brilliant but cantankerous old man named Gershom Wald. There is, however, a third, mysterious presence in his new home. Atalia Abravanel, the daughter of a deceased Zionist leader, a beautiful woman in her 40s, entrances young Shmuel even as she keeps him at a distance. Piece by piece, the old Jerusalem stone house, haunted by tragic history and now home to the three misfits and their intricate relationship, reveals its secrets.

Una storia di amore e di tenebra è uno scavo profondo e doloroso, onesto e autenticamente commovente, che Oz conduce dentro la sua vita, la sua carriera, e dentro una nazione che nasce da un trauma insanabile, dal tragico addio a un passato irrecuperabile, in un contesto di scontro armato e conflitti. Al centro di tutto questo vorticare, grano di sabbia attorno a cui si stratifica la perla, sta un dolore lancinante: la perdita della madre che, quando Amos ha solo dodici anni, si suicida.

בכפר מבודד, מנותק מן העולם, חיים התושבים באימה מפני הלילה ומפני היער שהכפר גובל בו. שכן לילה אחד, לפני שנים רבות, כשתושביו המבוגרים של הכפר עדיין היו הילדים, נעלמו ממנו כל בעלי-החיים ולא שבו להיראות עוד. עבור ילדי הכפר החיות אינן אלא שמועה, ספור בדים שחלק מהמבוגרים מספרים בלחש. דבר אינו ידוע על מאורעות אותו הלילה, להוציא העובדה שהאחראי להיעלמות בעלי-החיים הוא השד נהי. מיה ומתי, שני ילדים אמיצים שסוד משותף מרחיק אותם משאר הילדים ועושה אותם מטרה ללעגם, מרהיבים עוז ונכנסים אל עומק היער כדי לגלות את האמת על בעלי-החיים ועל השד נהי.
