Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Appears unread. Internally very crisp, clean and bright. Just a light marks to the closed edges of the textblock and a few small marks and slight spine fade to the DJ. The Tulip is not a gardening book. It is the story of a flower that has made men mad. Greed, desire, anguish, devotion have all played their part in the development of the tulip from a wild flower of the Asian steppes to the world-wide phenomenon it is today. The US alone imports three thousand million tulip bulbs each year, Germany and France even more. Why did the tulip dominate so many lives through so many centuries in so many countries? The author, a self-confessed tulipomaniac, has spent six years looking for answers. No other flower has ever carried so much baggage; it charts political upheavals, illuminates social behaviour, mirrors economic booms and busts, plots the ebb and flow of religious persecution. Roaming through Asia, India, Russia and the Ottoman Empire, the author tells how the tulip arrived from Turkey and took the whole of Western Europe by storm. In the petals of the exquisite English florists' tulips, still exhibited in competition by members of the Wakefield Tulip Society in Yorkshire, runs the blood of flowers first grown by John Evelyn in the middle of the seventeenth century. Sumptuously illustrated from a wide range of sources, the book also features descriptions of eighty wild-species tulips and several hundred garden varieties. This beautifully produced and irresistible volume will become a bible, a unique source book, a universal gift book and a joy to all who possess it.

As well as writing for the Observer for twenty years, she has contributed to Country Life, Country Living, and Elle Decoration, and is an associate editor of Gardens Illustrated.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. De Tulp is geen tuinboek. Het is het verhaal van een bloem die mensen tot waanzin heeft gedreven. Hebzucht, begeerte, leed en toewijding hebben allemaal een rol gespeeld in de ontwikkeling van de tulp van een wilde bloem van de Aziatische steppen tot het over de hele wereld verbreide fenomeen van vandaag de dag. Alleen al de Verenigde Staten importeren elk jaar drie miljard tulpenbollen, Frankrijk en Duitsland zelfs nog meer. Waarom beheerste de tulp zoveel eeuwen in zoveel landen zoveel levens? De schrijfster, een onverholen tulpofiel, heeft zes jaar naar antwoorden op die vraag gezocht. Geen enkele andere bloem heeft ooit zo'n grote rol gespeeld. Pavord brengt politieke omwentelingen in kaart, werpt licht op sociale gedragingen, en verhaalt van economische bloeiperioden en crises. Dwalend door Azië, India, Rusland en het Ottomaanse Rijk vertelt ze hoe de tulp vanuit Turkije hiernaartoe kwam en heel West-Europa stormenderhand veroverde. De tulp legde voor sommigen de basis van grote fortuinen, maar was ook de reden van even spectaculaire faillissementen. Miljoenen liefhebbers staren nu met ontzag naar de schitterende bloemstukken die in het begin van de zeventiende eeuw werden geschilderd door meesters als Ambrosius Bosschaert. Maar in de tijd dat ze werden geschilderd, werden deze kunstwerken als goedkope vervanging van de echte bloemen beschouwd. Zelfs Jan Huysum, de grootmeester van de Hollandse bloemschilderkunst, kon zelden meer dan 5000 gulden voor een schilderij vragen, terwijl op een Alkmaarse veiling in 1637 een enkele bol van de tulp 'Admirael Liefkens' voor 4400 gulden van eigenaar wisselde. De tulp is rijk geïllustreerd, onder meer met werk van Huysum, Bosschaert, Brueghel. Het boek bevat tevens beschrijvingen van tachtig wilde tulpensoorten en honderden tuinvariëteiten. Dit prachtig uitgevoerde en onweerstaanbare boek is voorbestemd een bijbel te worden, een universeel geschenk en een bezit waarin de eigenaar zich voor altijd zal verheugen. Anna Pavord is tuinjournaliste van The Independent en schrijfster van alom geprezen tumboeken als The Flowering Year en Gardening Companion. Ze schreef twintig jaar lang artikelen voor The Observeren vele bijdragen aan Country Life, Country Living en Elle Decoration. Daarnaast is ze eindredacteur van Gardens Illustrated. Pavord woont in Dorset, Engeland, in een oude pastorie met een grote tuin, waaraan ze al twintig jaar werkt. 'Ik zou geen historicus in binnen- of buitenland weten die ons beter kan rondleiden in de bloementuin.' - de Volkskrant 'ik heb nog nooit zo'n fantastische reeks oude, kleurige tulpenprenten bijeen gezien als in dit prachtig uitgegeven magnum opus van Anna Pavord.' - Vrij Nederland.…
