For the first time, a book tells the story of trees as though they were characters in history. From the oak to the baobab, from the chestnut to the mahogany, from the birch to the cedar, from the linden to the gingko, the author has chosen for this book twenty species noted for their magic, their exoticism, their great size, or their rarity.With passion and erudition, André Corvol, a recognized specialist, recounts their botanical origins, their beauty, their mysteries, and the roles they play for us, utilitarian or sacred. He also takes the opportunity to present legends, myths, literary quotations, and even recipes made with their fruits or leaves. Photographs and plates from the Museum of Natural History distributed throughout the book add to its charm.An homage to the natural monuments indispensable for the dreams and the poetry that make up our landscapes, our heritage, and the heritage of humanity.
