In the winter darkness of the first day of the year, Lea Korsgaard makes a list. She has decided to see all of Denmark's 64 butterfly species in one year before they disappear. The hunt for the butterflies takes her to landscapes she never knew existed, but also into the world of books, philosophy and mythology. Before the Year Ends: What 64 Butterflies Taught Me About Nature's Greatest Mystery is about approaching nature and asking questions about the miracles of life.
Lea Korsgaard is an award-winning journalist and author of several non-fiction books. Before the Year Ends has attracted a lot of attention and the book has been sold to about ten countries. She talks to cultural journalist and Lund Public Library producer Ann-Marie Rauer.
The author talk is broadcast live via the streaming service Biblioteket Play . The recording will then remain available for one week. Watching is free and you do not need a library card or registration to watch the broadcasts.
The Nordic Light series is a collaboration between the Public Libraries in Lund and the Nordic Association.
