That's not true, just look at me! It's not just the beautiful things that call out, it's not just the stones, the willow bush, and the river. This whole book calls out, which is a great solitary work in German literature and laughs in the face of our worn-out, poor world with its beauty and its cheerful desire to simply be. Neither a novel nor an essay, "Not One and Yet" is a great meditative speculation, composed of thousands of posthumous pages. The "nature walker" Christian Enzensberger, who has captivated as an Anglicist, essayist, and translator throughout his life, reflects on what it means to be human in a sensually touching relationship with nature - guided by the body, the living substance. This becomes the measure of humanity for the reader of the book of nature. "Not One and Yet" carries both dissent and affirmation.
