"In a work that beautifully demonstrates the rewards of closely observing nature, Elisabeth Bailey shares an inspiring and intimate story of her uncommon encounter with a Neohelix albolabris ?a common woodland snail. While an illness keeps her bedridden, Bailey watches a wild snail that has taken up residence on her nightstand. As a result, she discovers the solace and sense of wonder that this mysterious creature brings and comes to a greater under standing of her own confined place in the world. Intrigued by the snail?s molluscan anatomy, cryptic defenses, clear decision making, hydraulic locomotion, and mysterious courtship activities, Bailey becomes an astute and amused observer, providing a candid and engaging look into the curious life of this underappreciated small animal.  Told with wit and grace, The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating is a remarkable journey of survival and resilience, showing us how a small part of the natural world illuminates our own human existence and provides an appreciation of what it means to be fully alive."

"Durch eine Krankheit ist die Journalistin Elisabeth Bailey ans Bett gefesselt. Als sie von einer Freundin eine Topfpflanze geschenkt bekommt, unter deren Blättern eine Schnecke sitzt, beginnt sie diese zu beobachten. Nachts wird ihr neues Haustier aktiv, fährt seine Fühler aus, geht auf die Jagd und vollführt seltsame Rituale. Fasziniert beschäftigt sich Bailey mit Biologie und Kulturgeschichte der Schnecke und erfährt Verblüffendes über ein unterschätztes Lebewesen. Nun hat sie die Geschichte dieser besonderen Freundschaft aufgeschrieben - ein Buch der Entschleunigung und darüber, wie sich in einem kleinen Detail der Natur die Vielfalt des Lebens finden lässt."
