Sobre IBD

Mary Webb was passionately devoted to revealing nature in all of its expressions and forms. She was diagnosed with Graves’ disease at the age of 20, and in times of recovery she early noticed that her love of nature sped her healing. She also, in these sensitive times of contemplation and struggle, saw the natural world more tenderly and luminously; the urgencies of life were clearer. The Spring of Joy collects together a group of exquisite essays of appreciation, written with the idea of succouring ‘the weary and wounded in the battle of life.’ They are an extraordinary record of a woman’s empathy, not only for the beauty, colour, form, delicacy and majesty of the natural world, but also for her fellow human beings who suffer.

En estos movimientos y escamoteos, el profesor Fabio Silva Vallejo nos propone de fondo una...
