The guardian of the tree

Old Minoa kept a priceless treasure. 

A seed as big as a fist and shiny as gold. 

The time to entrust her to someone younger had arrived. 

Seriously, she gave it to Djalil. 

The young boy would in turn watch over this extraordinary seed: the seed of the unique tree. 

One day, Djalil would put it in the ground and the tree would reveal its secret... The eye-shaped fruit of this tree gives visions to those who eat it. 

This is how Djalil allowed the city of Ganhar to avoid being swallowed up and saved Princess Nadja from certain drowning. 

A captivating tale with oriental tones that combines wisdom and mystery. Discovery of The Tree of Life by Gustav Klimt. The illustrations are breathtaking. 

Anja Klauss's palette, purple, orange and gold enhanced with black, blazes. 

The illustrator uses the codes of the Viennese master's compositions: hand posture, scrolls, geometric figures used as motifs in clothing, but also for the composition of landscapes. 

The same triangles adorn the servant's dress and represent the mountains that Djalil crosses, the princess's curly hair blends with the swirls of the branches of the tree of life...
