A colorful and dynamic illustration
A dive into history and a journey across the world
The great diversity, which makes you want to discover everything
There are countless books on dragons: what distinguishes Dragons ! others ? From the collection Mirrors! of the Electric Sheepbeautiful books devoted to the great themes of the imagination, this work takes up the challenge and offers an exploration of the different draconic landsacross time, space, media and other futile boundaries for those with wings.
Melanie FievetIn and three-part plan well structured, echoing classic dissertations, does not hesitate to evoke Mesopotamian myths and video games in the same sentence, to make novels and frescoes rhymein short, to follow with your finger the ambiguous silhouettes of dragons and other creatures similar to them. Because the first challenge of this book is already to define its objectthis creature that we find everywhere and yet risk not seeing anywhere.
This fantasy of the dragon is fascinating: why is it so present? Always the same and always different?
The book does not give a definitive answer, but accompanies us in our discoveryand offers us paths through history and the land.
This is perhaps one of the major advantages of this book, he us presents and offers unknown worksmany of which will leave us intrigued, but some of which will seem so interesting that we will look into itand maybe we will fall into it. I, who have always been passionate about dragons, who started literature by EragonI discovered that I still didn’t know about entire continents where dragons aboundand have shapes that I have never seen anywhere else.
This book is therefore not so much a culmination, but the beginning of a long colorful journey by the scales and wings that are found everywhere in this splendid book. Because dragons are everywhere, both in the illustrations and in the pages themselves.and they are happily teeming between the different chapters. For its appearance alone, this book deserves a place of choice in any treasure of gold and paper, accumulated in a very draconic lair (watch out for fire!).
So fly away!, with these companions who have never disappointed our dreams, and who still make us believe in the imaginary! Because against all odds, enemy or ally, setting or hero, the dragon is the very symbol of the imaginary, and the Here are the dragons will always remain the mark of the unexplored, the mysterious and the marvelous.
