[and] it is something I believe-that you can change the world by planting trees."-Alice Waters, author of We Are What We EatTwenty years ago Chelsea Green published the first trade edition of The Man Who Planted Trees, a timeless eco-fable about what one person can do to restore the earth. The hero of the story, Elzéard Bouffier, spent his life planting one hundred acorns a day in a desolate, barren section of Provence in the south of France. The result was a total transformation of the landscape-from one devoid of life, with miserable, contentious inhabitants, to one filled with the scent of flowers, the songs of birds, and fresh, flowing water.Since our first publication, the book has sold over a quarter of a million copies and inspired countless numbers of people around the world to take action and plant trees.This edition includes a foreword by Wangari Maathai, winner of the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize and founder of the African Green Belt Movement."It has given me much joy to reread this story."-Wendell Berry.

Hardcover. Etat : As New. 1st Edition. Imagine a book about a man who planted trees in an edition that itself comes from a tree, for this magnificent volume is covered with the bark of the mulberry tree. Imagine also an ancient and enchanted land in the south of France. The Vaucluse inspired Jean Giono to write this book and the renowned photographer, Martine Franck, to create five hauntingly beautiful photogravures of scenes from that magical land. Andre Malraux called Giono (1895-1970) one of the greatest writers of our generation. Inspired by God or Pan, perhaps Giono s hero in this story expresses humanity s ancient kinship with the earth and reverence for all living things. The original French text alternates, line by line, with the English translation. Five photogravures by Martine Franck. Edition limited to 300 numbered copies. Each book signed by Martine Franck. The complex photogravure process, in which a photographic image is transferred to a copper plate using gelatin coated paper, can reveal subtleties that even the photographer had not seen in the negative. The book is covered with mulberry bark and the Nigerian goatskin spine has the title stamped in 22-karat gold. The lined slipcase is covered in black Italian cotton. One volume, 14 x 17 inches. As the publisher, we unconditionally guarantee that all books are authentic and the condition is As New (NOS). Signed by Illustrator(s).
