The night life of the trees

If one day you get lost in the forest, look for the path that leads to the protective Sembar, the one that shines like gold at night. [Excerpt from The Night of the Luminous Sembar] Different visions of trees, represented with intricate drawings, fill the pages of this amazing art book about the tradition of the Gond tribe, rooted in Central India. Inhabitants of the forests since ancient times, the Gond maintain that trees are the axis of life: during the day they do an arduous job offering us shade, shelter and food; but at night, when the daytime visitors leave, it is the spirits that reveal themselves to us. These luminous spirits are magnificently embodied in The Night Life of Trees. Author: Shyam, Bhajju;Bai, Durga;Singh Urveti, Ram | Illustrator: Shyam, Bhajju;Bai, Durga;Singh Urveti, Ram
