"The Overstory" is a deep reflection on the interaction of man with nature, on the importance of trees in the life of the Earth. The novel by Tim Powers tells the stories of nine different characters who at different times of their lives encounter trees - from seeds to huge ancient forests. Each hero has his own story, his own important memories and experiences, but they are all united by a common desire to protect forests from being uprooted. "The Overstory" is a book-meditation about the majesty of nature, about our dependence on it and how we can be part of its preservation.
