The Man Who Planted Trees
3 journalers for this copy...
Simply written, but powerful and unforgettable, The Man Who Planted Trees is a parable for modern times. In the foothills of the French Alps the narrator meets a shepherd who has quietly taken on the task of planting one hundred acorns a day in an effort to reforest his desolate region. Not even two world wars can keep the shepherd from continuing his solitary work. Gradually, this gentle, persistent man's work comes to fruition: the region is transformed; life and hope return; the world is renewed
I read this book some time ago and it's simple style yet powerful message still remains with me after several years. A book that can be read in one sitting but will stay with you for years to come!

I wish this story was true. Loved the simple idea of one man's capability through small means.
