Περιγραφή για The Resurrectionist: The Lost Work of Dr. Spencer Black E. B. Hudspeth Quirk Books

Philadelphia. The late 1870s. A city of cobblestone sidewalks and horse-drawn carriages. Home to the famous anatomist and surgeon Dr. Spencer Black. The son of a \"resurrectionist\" (aka grave robber), Dr. Black studied at Philadelphia\'s esteemed Academy of Medicine, where he develops an unconventional hypothesis: What if the world\'s most celebrated mythological beasts - mermaids, minotaurs, and satyrs - were in fact the evolutionary ancestors of humankind? \"The Resurrectionist\" offers two extraordinary books in one. The first is a fictional biography of Dr. Spencer Black, from his humble beginnings to the mysterious disappearance at the end of his life. The second book is Black\'s magnum opus: \"The Codex Extinct Animalia, a Gray\'s Anatomy\" for mythological beasts - dragons, centaurs, Pegasus, Cerberus - all rendered in meticulously detailed black-and-white anatomical illustrations. You need only look at these images to realize they are the work of a madman. \"The Resurrectionist\" tells his story. Σελίδες: 192, Διαστάσεις: 19.8x19.8cm
