The Tree and the River by Aaron Becker

The Tree and the River by Aaron Becker Book Review

February 19, 2023

The Tree and the River by Aaron Becker: Another wordless masterpiece to add to Becker's already impressive collection on the bookshelf with all the hallmarks of his previous works. The Tree and the River Book Review The cover tells the whole story without the reader even noticing until the end. This is one of the hallmarks of almost any Becker work, like the Journey trilogy. He explores contrasting themes of time and timelessness and human impact and the lack of human impact. A tree grows next to a river just as thousands if not millions of other trees. Humans come and do what humans do: attempt to conquer their environments and each other. Which one gets the last laugh: mankind or Nature? Readers of Becker's other works will know to be on the lookout for foreshadowing from the start, but will not see it until near the end offering astute readers that morsel of sweet ... read more
