Some people reject the fact, overwhelmingly supported by scientists, that our planet is warming due to human activities. But do those of us who accept the reality of human-caused climate change truly believe in it? If we did, surely we would be roused to act, to make sacrifices now to prevent calamity in the future. How are we, ordinary civilians, supposed to do anything about a crisis for which we can barely sustain concern, of which our understanding is so incomplete, and from which we cannot imagine an escape? Will future generations distinguish between those who didn't believe in the science of climate change and those who said they accepted the science but didn't act? In We Are the Weather, Jonathan Safran Foer explores the central dilemma of our time in a surprising, creative, and urgent new way. We have, he reveals, turned our planet into a farm for growing meat, and the consequences are catastrophic. With the future of our home at stake, the time has come to consider how our descendants will judge our actions at this crucial moment. Collective action is needed. We might be able to pull it off--and it all starts with what we eat, and don't eat, for breakfast and lunch.

This is the story of a fracturing family in a moment of crisis. Over the course of 3 weeks in present-day Washington DC, 3 sons watch their parents' marriage falter and their family home fall apart. Meanwhile, a larger catastrophe is engulfing another part of the world: a massive earthquake devastates the Middle East, sparking a pan-Arab invasion of Israel.

Een jonge Amerikaan, Jonathan Safran Foer geheten, reist naar het platteland van Europa. Slechts gewapend met een vergeelde foto gaat hij op zoek naar Augustine, de vrouw die, zo is hem verteld, zijn grootvader uit de handen van de nazi’s heeft gered. Vergezeld door de onvergetelijke Alex, zijn jonge Oekraïense tolk die behept is met een komisch spraakverwarrend accent, maakt Jonathan een donquichotachtige zoektocht door een verwoest landschap, terug naar een hartverscheurend verleden.

Cuando Jonathan Safran Foer iba a convertirse en padre empezó a preocuparse por la forma más responsable de alimentar a su hijo. ¿Cuáles son las consecuencias de comer animales para la salud? ¿Cuáles los efectos económicos, sociales y ambientales? ¿Por qué comemos animales? Mezclando con maestría filosofía, literatura, ciencia y narración de sus propias aventuras detectivescas, Comer animales explora el origen de nuestros hábitos alimenticios: desde las costumbres nacionales a las tradiciones familiares, pasando por una atroz falta de información. Con una profunda perspicacia, un equilibrado sentido ético y una creatividad desbordante, Safran Foer revela la espeluznante verdad sobre el precio pagado por el medio ambiente, el Tercer Mundo y los animales para que podamos tener carne en nuestras mesas. Comer Animales ha sido un éxito que ha despertado las pasiones y los debates más encendidos en Estados Unidos, Italia, Francia o Alemania. Éste no es sólo un libro sobre qué comemos: el sorprendente talento de Safran Foer apela a nuestra moral y responsabilidad como individuos y a nuestras esperanzas como sociedad. Pocas veces un libro ha dado tanto que hablar.

Jonathan Safran Foer has long had a passion for the work of the twentieth-century American assemblage artist Joseph Cornell. Inspired by Cornell�s avian-themed boxes, and suspecting that they would be similarly inspiring to others, Foer began to write letters. The responses he received from luminaries of American writing were nothing short of astounding. Twenty writers generously contributed pieces of prose and poetry that are as eclectic as they are imaginative, and the result is a unique collaborative project and one of the most significant engagements of literature with art for many years.
