Bøger af Marie-Laure Valandro

In this captivating collection of stories, Marie-Laure Valandro shares her adventures and insights from her life and work on a 60-acre biodynamic farm and garden in a small rural town in Eastern Wisconsin. Readers get a rare and intimate glimpse into the realities of modern farm life, replete with its beauty and magic, challenges and demands. Experience the author's nourishing and at times backbreaking journey as she crafts and stewards a true homestead on an old farm in the magnificent Midwest. With refreshing imagery and observations, we further our understanding and appreciation of the elements, plants, and animals. Included are the words of Rudolf Steiner, Peter Proctor, Dennis Klocek, Rudolf Hauschka, Wolf Storl, Michael Lipson, and many others.

Marie-Laure Valandro takes the reader on both an outer and an inner journey of discovery by way of the grand, living museum of Western history and tradition, Florence, Italy. Wandering the streets, cathedrals, and museums of Florence and the surrounding towns of Tuscany, the author gives fresh life to the Florentine painters, philosophers, poets, and architecture of bygone eras, while showing their relevance for our lives today. Letters from Florence is much more than a catalog of views through a traveler's eyes. It takes the reader on a personal journey to inner landscapes, both ancient and contemporary, through the author's own words and those of philosophers such as Goethe and Rudolf Steiner, the verse of Dante, and her evocative photographs. Whether one has or has not visited Florence, the insights gathered in Letters from Florence offer food for the mind and soul while entertaining the reader with the author's observations and encounters and her critique of modern Western culture and the spirit of our time.
