The Apple

Norwegian title: Eplet

Torolf E. Kroglund

Where did the apple originate, and what does it tell us about humanity? The apple is central in myths, fairy tales, religion, literature and art. From being the forbidden fruit of knowledge, to being the symbol of one tech’s most recognizable brands.

The journey of the apple started in the Far East and follows us through the emergence of Western society. The Apple is a riveting story that takes us through gardens, literature, and history. It also says something about the hope of a better balance between the wild and the cultivated, between human and nature.

The history of the apple is, in many ways, also the history about us, as the apple is so closely tied to humans.
