En La Tierra tiene sed, Erik Orsenna nos lleva en un viaje alrededor del mundo de los grandes ríos, retratando a treinta y tres de ellos. A través de su mirada, se revelan las causas de sus males: la escasez mundial de agua, la contaminación y la proliferación de represas que destruyen recursos y paisajes. El autor constata que las agresiones provienen del agua misma, tanto por su escasez como por su distribución desigual. Este libro es el séptimo volumen de la serie 'Petits précis de mondialisation'.
