Agroecology: Four Seasons of the Apocalypse Domain | Dorian Amar

It's the story of a young winemaker on an island in the Aegean Sea, who came to cultivate the vine and rest there. It's the adventure of someone who, upon arriving in a true desert, worked for five years to go green! The man of the land, the one who speaks the language of nature and knows its creatures, the one who works in all weather and with the elements, he is already at home everywhere. He becomes like the animals populating the great forests. Who has never dreamed of wide open spaces and alpine meadows? Happy is the one who, while traveling through the civilized world, tames it and lives like a wild beast! The reader will find in this book all the care given to the land during these five years on Patmos, and the observations specific to the good management of the domain of the Apocalypse: the vine and the wine, the olive trees and the fig trees, the trees and shrubs, the chickens and birds, the bees and flowers form the backdrop of this journey on the edge of the Mediterranean. He will discover a discourse that is both didactic and poetic, where labor and contemplation serve as a receptacle for expressing a world closer to nature and its manifestations. Because the wine born from an agroecological approach carries a message. Whether it lifts souls or directs minds, whether it provokes reactions and unleashes passions, it already allows for a different perspective on the rhythms that time imposes on the living - to arouse wonder and look at the vine differently, to accompany the life of plants and animals over the course of the seasons and five years, this is what the winemaker can offer most beautifully through this book.
