We taste them, but do we know them? Here, enthusiasts can admire them in pictures, but also understand them better, thanks to the text. Each fruit has its own story, always colorful, often strange. The history of fruit goes back very far into the past, to the origins of man; it plays an important, but forgotten, role in the history of civilizations.
This book is the result of a meeting between the admirable image-makers that were the naturalist painters of yesteryear and a contemporary author, that of The Magic of Plants and The Mythology of Trees.
Thanks to them, our pleasure will be multiplied.
