Overstory-Summary Mary D'Souza. MPhil. PhD
1 von 1 finden das hilfreich The 500-page novel, “Overstory” by Richard Powers is founded with ideas, the wisdom of trees, eco-terrorism, connection of trees and human. The book is in four sections, roots, trunk, crown and seeds. The Overstory is the Understory Biome of nine characters, the layers of their life, foliage of their camouflage with like-minded individuals, and a canopy of these characters careers, for example, video game pioneer, intellectual property lawyer, a professor, an actress, and average citizen, and of the tree scientist living a hermit life in the woods, she takes the story of trees to the highest level with awe and wonder, as if inspired by current times of ecoterrorism and environmental rapes. Many of the tree details are facts although it is a fiction novel, reminded me of Rachel Carson and Jane Goodall Science through observation at that times, 1950s. A thoughtful concise write-up of trees deep observation, data collection, and analysis.
Roots section, begin with a remarkable, ancient technique of story-telling, the origin of characters, their love for the majestic trees, the Chestnut, Mulberry, Ash and Oak, Red wood and many more, all sturdy and strong, rooted deep and strong with families in the book, later all nine characters evolve and merge as one like a trunk of a tree, together they try to build eco-resistance against the multi-millionaire loggers, impart wisdom of trees. Later the characters re-invent themselves, mingle and branch like the crown of a tree, sometimes shining green and giving the best at other time perished. The story is embedded with entertainment, art, literature, love for books, video games, music and drama. The Seed, is parallel to human old age, mostly self-questions of the actions and consequences, of earlier stages of life. Seeds need fire, acids, heat, exposure, sometimes transportation to back to full life again.
