Description
Beneath our feet lies a vast, half-forgotten world—catacombs, mines, caves, and other underland spaces where geology, history, and imagination overlap. In this deep-time journey, Robert Macfarlane follows the traces of these subterranean realms to ask what they reveal about human presence, extraction, and the stories we leave behind. Moving through myth, literature, and lived landscape, he connects the physical underworld to cultural memory, showing how the earth records our impact in silence and stone. Part travel writing, part ecological meditation, Underland is an epic, lyrical exploration of place—inviting readers to rethink what it means to belong to the planet we dig into.
