"Landsyge" (literally "Land-Sick") by Nikolaj Schultz is an experimental and essayistic travel diary that delves into the existential and sociological questions posed by the climate crisis. The book follows a young man in Paris during a severe heatwave, who falls into a deep existential crisis. Seeking relief from both the heat and his overwhelming thoughts, he escapes to the small Mediterranean island of Porquerolles. However, even in this seemingly idyllic setting, he is confronted with the harsh realities of climate destruction.

Schultz blends personal narrative with theoretical reflection, posing questions such as: What are the individual and collective conditions of human life in an era when the Earth itself is unsettled? The book has been praised by several leading global thinkers and has been translated into six languages.
