The Resurrectionist

[IMPORTED 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 #34;resurrectionist #34; (aka grave robber), Dr. Black studied at Philadelphia #39;s esteemed Academy of Medicine, where he develops an unconventional hypothesis: What if the world #39;s most celebrated mythological beasts - mermaids, minotaurs, and satyrs - were in fact the evolutionary ancestors of humankind? #34;The Resurrectionist #34; 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 #39;s magnum opus: #34;The Codex Extinct Animalia, a Gray #39;s Anatomy #34; 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. #34;The Resurrectionist #34; tells his story. Format: Hardback |208 pages Publication Date: 21-May-2013 Penulis: E. B.
