Mm 270x290 Volume in copertina rigida, sovraccoperta originale, 142 pagine profusamente illustrate in nero e a colori. Testo in lingua francese - french text. Libro in condizioni di nuovo - brand new. " Symbole de beauté et de légèreté, mais aussi emblème de l'âme et de la métamorphose, le papillon a toujours voleté de la futilité à la gravité, de l'inconstance à la profondeur, et du libertinage à la métaphysique. Chaque époque lui a donné un ses particulier en respectant toujours cette ambivalence. La nôtre a choisi de papillonner entre la science du hasard et le tatouage coquin. Ce sont les voies multiples et inattendues du papillon-symbole que retrace cet ouvrage. Des mystiques hollandais du XVIIe siècle à Jules Michelet et Marcel Proust, de Jérôme Bosch à Salvador Dali et jean Dubuffet, des folies romantiques du peintre Fuseli aux méditations savantes du naturaliste Jean-Henri Fabre, de l'antique Psyché à la moderne Lolita, le papillon a toujours su s'adapter à l'air du temps et offrir un reflet fidèle de nos angoisses les plus secrètes. Le papillon ? un symbole décidément pas comme les autres, dont l'éternel retour dans la mode, l'art, la science, la littérature et tous les secteurs de la culture, souligne l'importance immémoriale"
