Ransom (a professor of philology) is kidnapped by two men and taken to Malacandra (Mars) where he escapes and comes to know the hnau who live in harmony with nature and are guided by the elida (spirit beings). He learns that earth is the "silent planet" and ruled by the "bent one" (evil one). He returns to earth a changed man. We are not the center of the universe and need to live in harmony with nature and others. Practice nurturing harmony with nature: find a plant outside (or if you live in a place without access to nature outside, a plant in a windowsill will do), and do one thing for on behalf of the plant's well being (water, fertilizer, prune, reposition so it get more--or less--sun), place your hand near the heart of the plant and offer a blessing...
