El simbolismo del cuerpo humano

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.
