Tekst achterflap

In Green Ink and Silence Field guide in fragments. Seasonal journal. Quiet devotion. Amid wind-laced grasses and the hush of moss underfoot, this book follows the wild flora of Estonia and Northern Europe — not in Latin incantation alone, but in memory, movement, and myth. Across nearly 200 species, the author invites us to walk beside him — past verge and fen, thicket and ruin — recording the presence of things often overlooked: the self-sown, the soft-stemmed, the stubbornly radiant. With watercolour illustrations and pages that breathe between scientific entry and poetic attention, this compendium is both herbarium and hymn — a companion for those who find stillness in leaf and name. About the Author Dan Uvarov is a physician based in verdant Tallinn, Estonia. A lifelong admirer of the natural world, he grew up among orchard blossoms, leaf games, and quiet meadows — where seasons taught more than words ever could. This book grew slowly, companioned by his loyal dog Alma, and a wish to honour what still grows wild. He is also the book’s illustrator and designer.
