In a time when our relationship to the natural world is ruled by the violence and greed of unbridled consumerism  Wendell Berry speaks out in these prescient essays  drawn from his fifty-year campaign on behalf of American lands and communities.  The writings gathered in The World-Ending Fire are the unique product of a life spent farming the fields of rural Kentucky with mules and horses  and of the rich  intimate knowledge of the land cultivated by this work. These are essays written in defiance of the false call to progress and in defense of local landscapes  essays that celebrate our cultural heritage  our history  and our home.  With grace and conviction  Wendell Berry shows that we simply cannot afford to succumb to the mass-produced madness that drives our global economythe natural world will not allow it.  Yet he also shares with us a vision of consolation and of hope. We may be locked in an uneven struggle  but we can and must begin to treat our land  our neighbors  and ourselves with respect and care. As Berry urges  we must abandon arrogance and stand in awe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946708135989,"sku":"ByrdShop_1640090282","price":77.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781640090286.jpg?v=1769962338","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-worldending-fire-the-essential-wendell-berry","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
