Looking for Theophrastus

A strange, wild, brilliant personal journey - across land and through time - in which Laura Beatty travels back two thousand years to rescue from obscurity Aristotle's friend and Chaucer's inspiration, the forgotten philosopher who grandfathered botany and the English novel.

O calatorie personala ciudata, salbatica, stralucitoare - prin pamant si prin timp - in care Laura Beatty calatoreste in urma cu doua mii de ani pentru a-l salva din obscuritate pe prietenul lui Aristotel si inspiratia lui Chaucer, filozoful uitat care a fost bunicul botanicii si romanului englez.
