About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

In Feral, George Monbiot, one of the world's most celebrated radical thinkers, offers a riveting tale of possibility and travel in the wild.

How many of us sometimes feel that we are scratching at the walls of this life, seeking to find our way into a wider space beyond? That our mild, polite existence sometimes seems to crush the breath out of us? Feral is the lyrical and gripping story of George Monbiot's efforts to reengage with nature and discover a new way of living. He shows how, by restoring and rewilding our damaged ecosystems on land and at sea, we can bring wonder back into our lives. Making use of some remarkable scientific discoveries, Feral lays out a new, positive environmentalism, in which nature is allowed to find its own way.

Critic Reviews

"Captivating. Will change the way you think about the natural world, and your place in it." (Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall)

"George Monbiot is always original - both in the intelligence of his opinions and the depth and rigour of his research. In this unusual book he presents a persuasive argument for a new future for the planet, one in which we consciously progress from just conserving nature to actively rebuilding it." (Brian Eno)

"A Book of Revelations for our times." (Farley Mowat)

Eye opening & astounding discussion of rewilding by the ever brilliant George Monbiot. A passionate & thoughtful exploration of rewilding in various forms & locations, including our own human hunger for a more adventurous life as part of nature not separated from it. Although not for all humans, as George points out the frustrating & ridiculous laws & misplaced beliefs hindering proper rewilding in support of destructive grazing in many areas of the UK in particular. Sigh. A must read for everyone really!

George’s voice is the perfect frequency for this critical “how to” manual. It can be used as a blueprint for the post covid rebuild

Sooo timely and poignant

Brilliant book. And Monbiot's narration displays the conviction he wrote the book with. Whilst not as detailed filled as I hoped going in the lack of technical details is more than made up for with his personal stories and emotional engagement with the subject matter. A Brilliant introduction to the topic.
