DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
Since the beginning of time, worms have preserved the memory of the Earth.
Deep beneath the roots of an ancient oak, the Worm Tribunal convenes – a council of the oldest worms, who do not judge guilt or innocence, but the traces that humans leave behind.
When the curious Lumbricus is appointed as the successor to the High Worm, he must learn what truly constitutes a human life.
Together with the council worms, he examines ten extraordinary life stories. Stories of time and transience, of possession and loss, of hope, friendship, and the courage to let something grow.
With each deliberation, Lumbricus learns more about humans – and about himself.
"The Worm Tribunal" combines philosophical depth with subtle humor and poetic storytelling. It is a modern fable about being human, about memory, responsibility, and the question of what a life should truly be measured by.
This book does not invite quick reading. It invites reflection.
Because in the end, it's not about what we possessed.
But about the traces we leave behind.
