Opis

-TREES, the Green Testament- draws a cartoon explanation of the basic world view of Judeo Christian civilization and celebrates our shared fundamental belief system. It is the Bible, Zionism, and world history, from the viewpoint of the TREES of the land of Israel From the Garden of Eden to the End Time promise of mankind beating his swords into plowshares. From the Burning Bush on Mount Sinai to the planting of thousands of trees in the modern, reborn State of Israel. There is a place where Environmentalists, Zionists, Jews, and Christians meet and agree. This incredible 190 page long cartoon by famed Dry Bones cartoonist Yaakov Kirschen is our story as told at that meeting place. This book-long cartoon views humankind with the objectivity that only a political cartoonist could attempt... or a tree could achieve. Explore the Jewish People's connection with the land of Israel and how the Zionist tree-planting compulsion holds the hope for the future of the entire planet. First published in 1993, TREES was heralded on the front page of the Wall Street Journal and in dozens of Anglo Jewish newspapers as a work of prophecy Over 40,000 copies of this graphic novel were sold The book became an underground classic. It has, until now, never had a second printing. This is a new ANNOTATED version of that amazing book, revealing the hidden meanings concealed in the delightful images of the cartoon. Sure to enchant children and adults. A perfect, optimistic gift for these often troubling times.
