Book / Under our feet or around us, often invisible, tender and tiny, the foams are everywhere. Passionate since childhood by their universe, the author tells the long history of these oldest plants on earth.
This praise as learned as luminous invites us to a poetic walk through ages and continents to discover the secrets of mosses: hyper-resistant, essential actresses of biodiversity, they are also protagonists of sacred cults and models for science.
The foams encourage us to put a fresh look at the living.
Olivier Liron, writer, poet, passionate since childhood by mosses, mixes in this book personal stories and studies, to celebrate these plants and their exceptional capacities, whether they are their survival strategies or their amazing virtues.
