No less than 5 anthologies have been published, and amongst all these writings, one poem focuses on a red apple: “ Historia de una manzana, un enano y una Luciérnaga ”. It’s about love, of course, as the apple is red! Here is the first stanza, to immerse you in this poetic universe: "A red apple, With flaming cheeks belongs to me; I recognise it from afar Overcoming all obstacles" http://espanol.agonia.net

Pomme is a young and ordinary hairdresser who falls in love with Aimery, a student at the École des Chartes. Too consumed by his own world, he misses out on this love and abandons the young girl. La dentellière was a roaring success among the masses (1.5 million copies sold on release), and was awarded the Prix Goncourt in 1974. Claude Goretta adapted the novel into a film in 1977. Pomme’s role was played by Isabelle Huppert. In the film, we see the heroine relentlessly biting into an apple as a reminder of her unrequited love that consumes her existence. http://www.purjus.net http://films.blog.lemonde.fr

In Thomas Mallory’s La mort d’Arthur (1485), the apple is associated with the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. It is responsible for the death of five people. In the XIXth century, the Grimm brothers wrote several tales where the apples had a magical and conflicting role. The most famous story was that of Snow White where the Apple not only causes her to fall into a deep sleep but also kindles love making it triumphant... Always red in colour and often magical, the apple represents more than just a mere fruit in popular beliefs. It is also believed that the best magic wands were made from the wood of apple trees. (...)
