El cuerpo humano tiene un lenguaje mediante el cual expresa su goce y sus sufrimientos, pero también es un lenguaje en sí, un «libro de carne». Aprender a leer el cuerpo es estar atento a su dibujo, saber desencriptar las formas del laberinto anatómico; es también oír lo que nos dicen los grandes mitos de la humanidad sobre la naturaleza y la función sutil de cada uno de los órganos; es, finalmente, nos dice Annick de Souzenelle, redescubrir el Árbol de los cabalistas, porque si el hombre fue «creado a imagen de Dios», la imagen de su cuerpo debe ser leída como el reflejo terrestre de ese «Árbol de la Vida» del que nos habla la tradición de la cábala. Difundido en más de doscientos mil ejemplares durante aproximadamente cuatro décadas, esta obra única en su género aparece por primera vez ricamente ilustrada en color, haciendo eco a escenas bíblicas y mitológicas de otras esferas culturales. Un tesoro para cualquier lector que esté en búsqueda de sentido.
The human body has a language through which it expresses its joys and sufferings, but it is also a language in itself, a "book of flesh". To learn to read the body is to be attentive to its drawing, to know how to decrypt the forms of the anatomical labyrinth; it is also to hear what the great myths of humanity tell us about the nature and subtle function of each of the organs; it is, finally, says Annick de Souzenelle, to rediscover the Tree of the Kabbalists, because if man was "created in the image of God", the image of his body must be read as the earthly reflection of that "Tree of Life" of which the tradition of the Kabbalah speaks to us. Distributed in more than two hundred thousand copies over approximately four decades, this unique work appears for the first time richly illustrated in color, echoing biblical and mythological scenes from other cultural spheres. A treasure for any reader in search of meaning.
