Klappentext
A STUNNING NEW GRAPHIC NOVEL, BRILLIANTLY ADAPTED FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES , WASHINGTON POST , AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER A Top Ten Graphic Novel of 2024---American Library Association From "veritable tree whisperer" (WSJ ) and internationally celebrated author Peter Wohlleben comes the long-awaited graphic novel adaptation of one of the most beloved books of our time. "Wohlleben has listened to trees and decoded their language. Now he speaks for them." (NYRB ) Filled with breathtaking illustrations and scientific facts about the forest and the flora and fauna who call it home---this eye-opening book will delight readers young and old.
Are trees social beings? For forester Peter Wohlleben, the answer has always been yes, the forest is a social network. Trees live like human families: tree parents live together with their children, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick and struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers.
This vibrantly illustrated graphic novel follows Peter as its loveable main character, revealing the secret network of the forest and sharing struggles and triumphs from his career protecting trees. Told in Peter's warm, conversational voice, not unlike that of a beloved grandfather chatting fireside, this visually stunning book offers scientific insights and pearls of wisdom gained from Peter's decades of observing forests, including how trees impact weather and climate, how they communicate with each other, and how they interact with fungal networks deep within the ground. It also offers poignant memories from Peter's personal life.
Featuring 240 pages of full-color illustrations and text covering the entirety of The Hidden Life of Trees , this adaptation honors the spirit of the original book by seeking to change the way the world looks at trees, and will inspire generations of readers to celebrate the natural world and protect our last remaining forests before it's too late.

Peter Wohlleben, geboren 1964, studierte an der Fachhochschule für Forstwirtschaft in Rottenburg am Neckar und arbeitete 23 Jahre in der Landesforstverwaltung Rheinland-Pfalz. 2006 gab er seine Stelle auf und übernahm als Förster ein 1200 Hektar großes Waldgebiet in der Eifel. Dort setzt er seine Vorstellungen von einem ökologisch wie ökonomisch vertretbaren Naturschutz erfolgreich um. Nebenbei entdeckte er seine Lust am Schreiben.
