Historias Mas Terribles de Monstruos Mitologicos, Las - Hardcover

by Luisa Mattia (Author), Elisa Bellotti (Illustrator)

All cultures know monsters, strange, disturbing and very often fantastic creatures that for centuries have lived in myths and legends in all corners of the world. Monsters represent our fears, the unknown and unexpected aspects of life. They can be terrifying, like the giant wolf Fenrir of Norse mythology; they can be fascinating, like the enchanting bewitching sirens who try to drag Odysseus into the abyss, or they can be embodied in creatures like Oyuki, the snow woman, whose thirst for revenge drives her to self-destruction... All of these are the ingredients of a varied universe full of charm. From Japan to China, from Scandinavia to Greece, this extraordinary world, inhabited by princesses, demons, mermaids, wolves or cyclops, shows us life with all its wonders and unknowns, and helps the little reader to face with strength and courage any monster, whether it is hidden in the dark or in any corner of your imagination.
