Earthquakes and Gardens

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of history and spirituality, Virginia Burrus delves into the aftermath of a fourth-century earthquake as seen through the eyes of Saint Hilarion. Using a fragment from The Life of Saint Hilarion, she crafts meditations on the human experience of place, weaving together themes of destruction and resilience. The work combines personal reflections with broader observations, inviting readers to contemplate both tangible and metaphorical landscapes, and to engage in a rich, place-centered exploration of our connections to the world around us.
