Description

La simbología y el influjo de la luna a lo largo de nuestra historia son tan amplios como diversos, tan antiguos como vigentes. Y son infinitos los recorridos que pueden hacerse en torno a este astro que siempre ha estado ahí, testigo y parte del desarrollo de las civilizaciones. Joachim Kalka presenta en este libro un paisaje tan erudito como personal que orbita en torno a la luna; incluye notas y reflexiones sobre ciencia, filosofía, literatura y distintas expresiones artísticas que van desde la pintura, la escultura y la poesía, hasta otras más recientes como el cine o el cómic. El autor nos sumerge en libres e hipnóticas asociaciones que entreveran, con fluidez y naturalidad, aproximaciones bíblicas, astronómicas y astrológicas de la luna, su simbología, mitología y leyendas, pero también la sitúa como protagonista de grandes hitos de la historia como la llegada del hombre a la luna o la profunda influencia que significó en la obra y pensamiento de grandes autores. Un texto apasionante y poliédrico, siempre inacabado, sobre este ente cósmico misterioso y mutable.
