Download The Tulip AudioBook Free
With a new introduction only in sound, read by Anna Pavord. The Tulip is not a gardening book. It is the story of a rose that has made men mad. Greed, desire, anguish and devotion have all played their parts in the introduction of the tulip into the worldwide sensation it is today. No other rose has ever carried so much ethnical baggage; it charts politics upheavals, illuminates social behaviour, mirrors financial booms and busts and plots the ebb and stream of religious persecution. Pavord tells how the tulip showed up from Turkey and had taken the whole of Western Europe by surprise. This wonderfully produced and irresistible volume will become a Bible, a unique sourcebook, a general gift book and a delight to all or any who own it.
