Delta

The Ebro delta is a place where living on the edge is more than a cliché. Climate change is accelerating the loss of land to the advance of the sea and beneath a landscape in rapid transformation are the tensions that have been maintained for years between administrations, neighbors, tourists, environmentalists, hunters and fishermen. In this coexistence sustained in balance, time becomes the enemy. There, in the last house before the sea, Gabi Martínez settles for a year with the aim of bearing witness not only to a vibrant and spectacular biodiversity, but also to the efforts of man and nature to recover a common space in the face of a increasingly uncertain future. In the purest tradition of Anglo-Saxon nature writing and so-called literature, using resources from great reporting and the best fiction, Delta is an exciting book that alerts us to the social and environmental challenges faced by an ecosystem in danger of extinction. A unique place where many of the challenges facing the planet converge, such as the climate crisis, immigration or the tension between cultural traditions and globalization.
