Lagerlöf:Die Legende von der Christrose

The Legend of the Christmas Rose: A Reflection on the Timeless. For those looking to relax from the hustle and bustle of the world and gain a different perspective, a small book from edition:grabener is recommended. The editor and author utilizes the over one-hundred-year-old legend of the Christmas Rose, offering readers a contemporary psychological interpretation, a well-founded literary classification, and many additional insights about a plant that appears unremarkable at first glance but is, in many ways, mysterious and almost legendary - as a medicinal plant, in botany, history, religion, literature, and music. The underlying legend by Selma Lagerlöf, presented in full, has retained its fairy-tale charm to this day and provides fresh insights in the tension between ancient truth and new perception. The book is lovingly designed, visually appealing, enjoyable to read, and makes a wonderful gift - not just in winter.
