LA INVENCIÓN DEL REINO VEGETAL
Serra A.
Ensayo sobre las plantas y su presencia en el arte y la cultura, desde los clásicos hasta la actualidad.
Los hombres dan un uso práctico a los vegetales desde hace miles de años. Sirven de alimento y de medicina, se usan en la construcción y en los tejidos...También intervienen en niveles más profundos. La primera gran revolución --la cultural--se produjo cuando se plantó el primer grano de maíz; y se ha sabido crear belleza a través de los jardines. Al mismo tiempo, ha habido luchas de poder originadas por flores...Sin olvidar la dimensión religiosa que ciertas culturas tienen en árboles, plantas y flores.
