About the Book

Interdite de litterature par son amante Virginia Woolf, Vita Sackville-West (1892-1962) prend en un eclair conscience des tresors qu'elle possede: un mari et un jardin. Son mari, le diplomate Harold Nicolson, concoit l'architecture et dessine les plans de ce qui deviendra le somptueux jardin de Sissinghurst dans le Kent, que Vita, aristocrate anglaise exuberante, transgressant sans vegrogne les regles de l'art des jardins, transforme a quatre mains: elle fait surgir de terre une mosaique de couleurs, une jungle asymetrique, une orgie dans l'aurore ou le soleil couchant, mais aussi...un extraordinaire jardin blanc. Attention, previent-elle j'aime la couleur, qui me met en joie, mais j'ai une predilection pour le blanc. Les ombres d'un vert glace que la blancheur peut prendre sous certains eclairages, au crepuscule ou au clair de lune, surtout au clair de lune, peut-etre, font du jardin un reve, une vision irreelle, et l'on sait cependant qu'il ne l'est pas le moins du monde puisque il a ete plante expres. Ce journal, qui n'est pas sans evoquer, mais en plus feminin et en plus anglais, L'annee du jardinier de Karel ?apek, est un superbe traite d'horticulture. Les conseils pratiques, organises par saison, raviront tous les amoureux de jardins...et de litterature. Les jardins de Sissinghurst sont aujourd'hui les plus visites d'Angleterre. Les planches anatomiques des fleurs qui illustrent ce livre sont de Arthur Harry Church (1865-1937), celebre botaniste britannique. Les aquarelles du jardin sont de Xavier Carteret. Traduit de l'anglais et preface par Patrick Reumaux.
About the Author: Vita Sackville-West (1910-1982) est une romanciere et poete anglaise, a l'exuberance attachante. Mariee a un aristocrate anglais, Harold Nicolson, elle couvre leur jardin du hateau de Sissinghurst d'une palette de tons mentholes et glaces, piques de quelques couleurs franches. Amante de Virginia Woolf pendant une dizaine d'annees, elle entretient avec cette derniere une correspondance prolifique et ombrageuse, qui intimidera quelque peu son gout pour la prose. Elle est pourtant l'auteur de romans reconnus, tels que All passion spent (1931) et The Edwardians (1930) ainsi que de recueils de poesie laureats a deux reprises du prix Hawthornden (pour The Land et Collected poems). On retrouve dans Journal de mon jardin, une meme aisance pour la prose que pour la poesie et une grande finesse dans la composition de ses descriptions, calquant le mouvement intime des plantes, en fuseau, en bouquet, ou en moutonnement. Illustrator and mycologist Xavier Carteret is an expert on the genus Cortinarius. He is also a historian and philosopher in the natural science field (he holds a PhD in History from the Ecole des hautes etudes en sciences sociales). Mycologist Patrick Reumaux is also a poet, novelist and translator. An expert on mushrooms, particularly of the Cortinarius and Russula genera, he has published numerous articles on mushrooms in mycology's leading scientific journals. Featured in the same collection is his book on poisonous mushrooms, Les Tueurs.
