From the book «Mountains of the Sea and Giants» (1924) by the German writer Alfred Deblin, author of the famous «Berlin, Alexanderplatz» (Amphora, 2000), literally almost blows the roof. The ocean rises like a mountain of water, the sky explodes, the earth bursts at the seams. This is because people are melting Greenland with the heat of Icelandic volcanoes, which is why the monsters of the Cretaceous period come to life. So Deblin saw the future of humanity in the XXIII-XXVII centuries. And he described geological processes and climatic changes — ice, rain, plasma buzz — with such power and passion, as some describe love dates. He himself called this book «a pacifying and glorifying song in honor of the great maternal forces.» Nothing soothing here. But after it it is easy to feel: the earth is really a living being, and we are its children.
