A cacophony of stories emerging from beneath the earth's surface, told from the perspective of a coal mine seen from the moon. The perspective of the human and non-human actors of Eastern Europe, which the author tries to see not from the perspective of the 18th century Western travelers we know and who have shaped the image of this part of the world for so many years. Inspired by Adam Bobbett's essay "The Spirituality of Coal", Ewelina has spent the last year researching coal mines and the stories associated with them, as well as how deeply coal has penetrated us, powering our electrical reality. Bobbette argues that coal creates the spiritual self of a modern man, and asks this question: How will our modern transition to a post-coal society lead to a reconfiguration of the self?
