Told through writings from <strong>ancient myths, early scientific natural histories and iconic literature<\/strong>, tales are intertwined with <strong>wonderful engravings, diagrams and paintings<\/strong>. These accounts give a unique perspective on the <strong>histories of societies and cultures<\/strong> around the world, taking in significant events like the Age of Sail, the Enlightenment and Darwinian evolution.<\/p>\n<p>With their excess size, claws, tentacles and bloodlust, monsters represent our greatest fears: <strong>the unknown, the dark, the natural world <\/strong>and even ourselves. As stories passed from generation to generation, they were analogues for dangerous weather events, foreign invaders, enemy nations, physical phenomena and real animals.<\/p>\n<p>Prema Arasu brings together <strong>excerpts from Beowulf, Moby-Dick<\/strong> and many other works by authors such as <strong>Homer, HP Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne, HG Wells<\/strong>&#8230; Each is brought to life with <strong>an introduction and beautifully gory artwork<\/strong>, making this a gorgeous book that&#8217;s sure to draw you in and drag you down&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Edition: 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"sottotitolo\"><span>Subtitle: <\/span>leviathans of literature<\/p>\n<p class=\"autore\"><span>Author: <\/span>prema arasu<\/p>\n<p class=\"editore\"><span>Publisher: <\/span>adlard coles nautical (bloomsbury publishing)<\/p>\n<p class=\"isbn\"><span>ISBN: <\/span>9781399414524<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":154314,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2999,2985,2621],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-154316","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-essays-narrative-and-essays","7":"product_cat-mythology","8":"product_cat-picture-books","10":"first","11":"onbackorder","12":"taxable","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
