The Book of Dragons: Giant Serpents, Treasure Guardians, and Fire-Breathing Lizards in Legends Around the World
39.99 €
The most famous mythological monsters, dragons have always been feared and admired. This book is a fundamental study, spanning millennia of human history and many countries and cultures. The origin of dragons from the deserts of Africa; their struggle with elephants in the jungles of South Asia; their fear of lightning, the colossal sea monster Leviathan; the seven-headed red dragon from Apocalypse; the Loch Ness monster; the dragon in Beowulf, who became the prototype for Smaug in Tolkien's The Hobbit; dragons in the prophecies of the wizard Merlin; the feathered serpent of ancient Mesoamerica. From the dark halls of the Lonely Mountain and the blue skies of Westeros to the underground vaults of the magical Gringotts Bank, everywhere we expect to see giant fire-breathing lizards with massive bat wings, guarding treasures hidden deep underground and wreaking havoc and destruction by spewing fire from their maws. But true dragons are full of surprises, and so is this book.
