    Dalle querce che hanno partorito i primi esseri umani al fico cui sono legate le sorti di Roma, dal pioppo che annuncia la futura grandezza di Virgilio ai due mirti che fioriscono insieme con le fortune politiche di patrizi e plebei, dai platani che bevono vino ai prugni che commettono adulterio, dalle metamorfosi vegetali al dibattito sull’anima delle piante: gli alberi occupano nell’immaginario dei Romani una posizione di grande rilievo, che investe il diritto e la religione, il mito e la tecnica, il pensiero filosofico e le dottrine scientifiche. Mentre le correnti più avanzate dell’antropologia e dell’ecologia contemporanea puntano a riscrivere il paradigma dell’interazione tra uomo e pianta elaborato dalla modernità occidentale, il libro esplora in un viaggio affascinante e ricco di sorprese le molteplici forme assunte da questa interazione nell’orizzonte intellettuale e nelle pratiche simboliche della cultura romana

    Highlights human encounters with the forest and its trees at the time of the European Middle Ages, when their lofty boughs were weighted with meaning. Forests, with their interlacing networks of trees and secret patterns of communication, are powerful entities for thinking-with. A majestic terrestrial community of arboreal others, their presence echoes, entangles, and resonates deeply with the human world. The chapters interrogate the pre-Anthropocene environment, reflecting on trees as metaphors for kinship and knowledge as they appear in literary, historical, art-historical, and philosophical sources. They examine images of trees and trees in-themselves across a range of environmental, material, and intellectual contexts, and consider how humans used arboreal and rhizomatic forms to negotiate bodies of knowledge and processes of transition. Looking beyond medieval Europe, they include discussion of parallel developments in the Islamic world and that of the Māori, the indigenous people of New Zealand.

    In nearly all his literary works, Vladimir Nabokov inscribed networks of trees to create meaningful patterns of significance around one or more of his passionate interests – in consciousness, memory, creativity, epistemology, ethics, and love, with a deep connection to nature serving as a constant undercurrent. Nabokov’s Secret Trees explores this neglected area of his art, one that positions nature as a hidden but vital core of his work. The book presents an entirely new, previously unsuspected Nabokov, one who crafts intricate patterns of arboreal imagery lurking behind his often-baroque psychological narratives. It reveals how Nabokov activates arboreal potentials by exploring the hidden ubiquity of trees, their essence as complex natural phenomena, and their role as quiet presences that have accompanied and fostered human civilization and art since their beginnings. The book uncovers how trees offer a rich and intricate field for structural, semantic, allusive, and metaphorical exploration. Based on the published corpus as well as archival materials, Nabokov’s Secret Trees demonstrates that trees not only populate Nabokov’s art in stunning, yet furtive, abundance, but also as mysterious natural entities, directly animating his works’ worlds and his readers’ experience of them
