Specifikacia The Book of Legendary Lands - Umberto Eco, Alastair McEwen
Autor : Umberto Eco, Popis : In the tradition of On Beauty, On Ugliness and The Infinity of Lists, Umberto Eco presents an enthralling and erudite illustrated tour of the fabled places that have awed and eluded us through the ages. From the epic poems of Homer to contemporary science fiction, from the Holy Scriptures to modern mythology and fairy tale, literature and art are full of illusory places we have at some time believed are real, and onto which we have projected our dreams, ideals and fears. Umberto Eco leads us on an illuminating journey through these legendary lands âż" Atlantis, Thule and Hyperborea, the Earthâż(TM)s interior and the Land of Cockaigne âż" and explores utopias and dystopias where our imagination can confront concepts that are too incredible, or too challenging, for our limited real world. In The Book of Legendary Lands the authorâż(TM)s text is accompanied by several hundred carefully assembled works of art and literature; the result is a beautifully illustrated volume with broad and enduring appeal.Druh sortimentu : Kniha, Název : The Book of Legendary Lands, Jazyk : Angličtina, Počet strán : 478
