Six faces of life. Burton N.

Repair of a suburban house inherited becomes a plot canvas for a perfectly written essay about nature and our relations with it. On the adjacent area, as well as in the walls, floor and ceiling of the old cottage, the storyteller meets many animals: bees, ants, foxes, protein, blackbirds and many others - all those for whom this place is a house. These meetings make the author think about the role of animals in our world. Nina Burton, poetess and writer, laureate of the August Prize of 2016 for the best non-production production, weaves scientific facts and personal observations in a single narrative to force readers to see life in its many manifestations.
