Rick Bass Knihy

    Rick Bass se věnuje hlubokému zkoumání divoké přírody a jejího propojení s lidským životem. Jeho styl se vyznačuje smyslem pro detail a lyričnost, který čtenáře vtahuje do syrové krásy a křehkosti přírodního světa. Skrze své povídky a romány Bass zkoumá témata ochrany přírody, lidské identity a hledání smyslu v odlehlých krajinách. Jeho psaní je vášnivou obhajobou divočiny a meditací o našem místě v ní.
