Paperback. What if the world is not ending loudly, but quietly entering your house?A room that no longer cools at night. A child who begins to mistrust the sky. A river that forgets its old shape. A hospital ward where the air becomes heavier than the official alert. A packed bag by the door that a mother calls precaution, while her daughter calls it the leaving bag.HOME is not another ordinary book about the environment, politics, or the future. It is a haunting literary nonfiction work about the hidden war beneath modern life: the war between the civilization we built and the living world still forced to carry us.With a voice that is intimate, philosophical, disturbing, and sharply human, ROLFF P. leads the reader through houses, cities, rivers, hospitals, forests, screens, markets, coastlines, and children's questions to reveal a deeper wound: modern civilization has learned to call extraction progress, speed maturity, consumption freedom, and damage normal.This is not a book that begins with slogans. It begins with home.Across Europe, Brazil, Morocco, Tunisia, India, Singapore, Canada, Jordan, Bangladesh, Fiji, South Africa, Japan, Nigeria, Samoa, and beyond, HOME follows ordinary human moments where the crisis of the living world becomes impossible to keep abstract. A girl draws a tree from memory. A nurse reads the body before the report. A delivery rider becomes a servant of speed. A child sees noon turn orange. A grandmother teaches names before the names disappear.Through story, moral diagnosis, spiritual pressure, and civilizational critique, this book asks a question most modern people would rather avoid: What kind of civilization destroys the world that keeps it alive, then calls the destruction normal life?HOME is for readers who sense that the crisis outside us is connected to the crisis inside us. It is for those who feel that modern life has become faster, richer, more connected, and somehow less human. It is for anyone who suspects that convenience has a shadow, progress has a cost, and comfort can become dangerous when it forgets the suffering that makes it possible.This book does not offer cheap optimism. It does not sell panic. It does not ask the reader to perform guilt as virtue.Instead, it asks for something harder.Attention.Responsibility.Reverence.A different imagination of what it means to live inside a common home.Elegant, urgent, poetic, and unsettling, HOME belongs to the tradition of books that do not merely explain a problem, but change the room in which the problem is felt.Because home was never just the place we return to.Home is the world that has been carrying us all along.

What if the world is not ending loudly, but quietly entering your house?
A room that no longer cools at night. A child who begins to mistrust the sky. A river that forgets its old shape. A hospital ward where the air becomes heavier than the official alert. A packed bag by the door that a mother calls precaution, while her daughter calls it the leaving bag.
HOME is not another ordinary book about the environment, politics, or the future. It is a haunting literary nonfiction work about the hidden war beneath modern life: the war between the civilization we built and the living world still forced to carry us.
With a voice that is intimate, philosophical, disturbing, and sharply human, ROLFF P. leads the reader through houses, cities, rivers, hospitals, forests, screens, markets, coastlines, and children’s questions to reveal a deeper wound: modern civilization has learned to call extraction progress, speed maturity, consumption freedom, and damage normal.
This is not a book that begins with slogans. It begins with home.
Across Europe, Brazil, Morocco, Tunisia, India, Singapore, Canada, Jordan, Bangladesh, Fiji, South Africa, Japan, Nigeria, Samoa, and beyond, HOME follows ordinary human moments where the crisis of the living world becomes impossible to keep abstract. A girl draws a tree from memory. A nurse reads the body before the report. A delivery rider becomes a servant of speed. A child sees noon turn orange. A grandmother teaches names before the names disappear.
Through story, moral diagnosis, spiritual pressure, and civilizational critique, this book asks a question most modern people would rather avoid:
What kind of civilization destroys the world that keeps it alive, then calls the destruction normal life?
HOME is for readers who sense that the crisis outside us is connected to the crisis inside us. It is for those who feel that modern life has become faster, richer, more connected, and somehow less human. It is for anyone who suspects that convenience has a shadow, progress has a cost, and comfort can become dangerous when it forgets the suffering that makes it possible.
This book does not offer cheap optimism. It does not sell panic. It does not ask the reader to perform guilt as virtue.
Instead, it asks for something harder.
Attention.
Responsibility.
Reverence.
A different imagination of what it means to live inside a common home.
Elegant, urgent, poetic, and unsettling, HOME belongs to the tradition of books that do not merely explain a problem, but change the room in which the problem is felt.
Because home was never just the place we return to.
Home is the world that has been carrying us all along.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
