Title : Mythology of Trees - Jacques Brosse - Book

Summary :

Who has not dreamed in front of a tree in spring? Who has not felt its calm blossoming as an invitation? (J. Brosse)

Once protectors, providing for almost all our needs, trees were considered manifestations of the gods' presence on earth, to the point that each of them was attributed a particular essence. Full of beautiful forgotten stories, this book brings together our beliefs about trees, but also the traditional knowledge of the civilizations from which we come: Egyptian, Semitic, Cretan, Greek, Latin, Germanic or Celtic. At the same time, it gives us back the keys to an ordering of the universe that brought man into harmony with nature.

Naturalist and Zen monk, historian of religions and philosopher, fierce defender of the environment, Jacques Brosse (1922-2008) devoted more than thirty years of his life to the study of trees.
