Marta Antelo / Ballena Blanca Magazine / The nature literature

Marta Antelo illustrates this article by Luci Romero, exploring nature as a literary genre and the many ways books shape our relationship with the natural world. Sometimes approached as a question, other times as a personal quest, nature writing invites readers to slow down, observe, and reconnect with their surroundings. Contemplating a landscape requires time, presence, and familiarity—qualities that these books cultivate through thoughtful storytelling, environmental reflection, and literary exploration.
