Robert Macfarlane The Book Review · Jun 2019 Why people recommend it
Underland by Robert Macfarlane is a sweeping exploration of humanity's relationship with subterranean spaces, deep time, and the hidden environments beneath the Earth's surface. The book received high praise and detailed discussion on The Book Review. Parul Sehgal opened a segment by mentioning her reading experience with the terrific book by Robert Macfarlane. Later in the same podcast series, Gilbert Cruz welcomed the author himself to discuss his deep time journey and ongoing book tour. During their conversation, Macfarlane and Cruz explored the thematic architecture of the work, noting in particular how Underland shares a mirror relationship with Macfarlane's earlier book, Mountains of the Mind. Macfarlane also unpacked the psychological nuances woven throughout the text, specifically emphasizing how a distinct sense of claustrophobia preoccupies the subterranean journeys and landscapes described in the pages. Through these discussions, the podcast highlighted the book's profound engagement with history, geology, and the visceral human reactions provoked by descending into the dark depths of the planet.
