El Libro de Noe

Raised in the Doñana Biological Reserve, the last vestige of an endangered way of life, Noé Garrido offers us an honest and passionate call to awaken and return to our territory with depth, love and freedom. In a world where disconnection with nature threatens our very existence, The Book of Noah emerges as a necessary testimony and in full synchronicity with other great manifestos of our time that call for a return to nature and the recovery of a 'wild mind', as David Hinton puts it in his work Wild Mind, Wild Land (Canticle, 2024). The book tells the true story of Noah, raised in an isolated house in the heart of the Doñana National Park among the lynx, a griffon vulture, aquariums and terrariums or a pet fox, and that when he reaches adolescence and reads Nietzsche's Zarathustra decides that the destiny of his life will be to write a book to change the world. The road will be long and full of vicissitudes and will lead him to live in a solitary hut in the mountain built by him to write the book. But this way he will discover surprising things that will make him rethink the foundations of his being and his world. From the marshes of Doñana to an austere hut in the Sierra de Aracena, this work gathers the personal testimony of one of the last children who grew up among herds of deer and families of wild boars with a powerful reflection on our relationship with nature and the meaning of human existence. Through its pages we discover how wild life can be a teacher of wisdom, how solitude can become fullness and how it is possible to build a meaningful life away from the frenzy of consumerism. The author shows us that another way of life is not only possible, but necessary. The Book of Noah is a unique work that transcends genres: it is memory and manifesto, it is philosophy and poetry, it is denunciation and hope. An original and necessary voice that reminds us that the future of humanity lies in reconnecting with our wildest roots.
