This book is part of a larger project by medieval historian Michel Pastoureau—reconstructing the cultural history of color in Western European societies, from Antiquity to the present day. Here, the author turns to deciphering green—a color that, until the 19th century, was one of the most difficult to produce and preserve. Chemically unstable, for centuries it was associated with all that was changeable, fleeting, and ephemeral: childhood, love, hope, luck, play, chance, and money. Only the Romantics recognized its intimate connection with nature, a connection that remains relevant today, when green, now the color of health, freedom, and hope, is entrusted with the lofty mission of saving the planet.
