The publishing house Gustavo Gili publishes this interesting book written by Gilles Clément, of which the publishing house has already published several books: Manifiesto del tercer paisaje / Manifesto of the third landscape and El jardín en movimiento / The garden in motion.

The author takes a tour of the history of the garden, based on its deeper and atavistic meanings; a small book "brief" quick to read and we agree with the presentation, "delicious" that connects us with the senses that, from our condition of human beings, we have been giving to the nature that we anthropized.
As the author comments, the works dedicated to the history of gardens, scarce at the beginning of the 20th century, are numerous today. In those beginnings those who were interested in the subject could only consult the text of Marguerite Charageat (L'Histoire des Jardins, PUF, Paris, 1962). History of Garden Design (Faber and Faber, London, 1964) would be published from the other side of the English Channel.

Two positions, an artistic vision and another technique. With these two references as a library fund the reader can also find a critical review of the works that Clément references in the book. A basic book for those who want to know about gardens.
 
“The first garden is a fence. It is important to protect the precious asset of the garden: vegetables, fruits; then the flowers, the animals, the art of living ... everything that, over time, will always be presented as the ‘best’ [...]. The notion of ‘best’, very precious, does not stop evolving. The scenery designed to value the best adapts to the change in the foundations of the garden, but the principle of the garden remains constant: getting as close as possible to paradise. ”
