Quando vuoi fare un regalo e non hai un'idea precisa di cosa regalare, bisognerebbe donare un libro. Non c'è bisogno di una ricorrenza specifica: è sempre bello donare un libro. Veicola sempre un messaggio, un'idea, un sogno. Peccato che ogni volta che regalo un libro, il più delle volte la gente si incazzi...

If you want to make a gift and you have no idea about what to buy, well donating a book it's always a good choice. It's no necessary to wait for a specific occasion: it's always something good. A book materializes messages, ideas, dreams. Yet anytime I give a book as a gift in the majority of cases, people tend to get angry...

J. Brosse: "Mythologie des arbres"


This book is simply wonderful. In this book the author gives the ancient and mystic dignity back to these great expressions of the living being, undisputed protagonists of traditional cultures linked to Mother Earth.

I define this book a sort "pontifical text" (of course in the original, ancient and pre-christian sense) also for the relevant religious features traversing the entire book.

Surely this is neither a botanical nor an anthropology book. If you expect to find here suggestions for gardening or pruning you have completely missed the point.

In this book trees are focused as living being, accompanied by their myths, in the most complete sense of this term.

Excellent and poetic...
