The Wonderful Olive Tree: A Brief Cultural Study
Дивная олива: краткое культурологическое исследование
An ancient Roman writer and agronomist noted in his agricultural work: "The olive is the first among all trees." Since antiquity, it has provided people with food, light, warmth, medicine, cosmetics, and has served as an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
In twenty chapters—two symbolic handfuls of olives—Swiss philologist, poet, and essayist Ralph Dutli tells the captivating cultural history of this remarkable tree over millennia. He explores its role in magical rituals, literature, art, military conflicts, and the global economy.
