This book, sumptuous as a medieval bestiary, is dedicated to real and otherworldly fauna. Why have animals always been a source of fascination for us? How, since ancient times, have ever more diverse forms emerged, and around them myths, legends and superstitions? Why did animals enter world culture as magical and sacred symbols? Why did man use them in magical practices? Chimeras, mermaids, anthropomorphic monsters, and werewolves are the protagonists of a diverse and fascinating catalog compiled by Roberto Marchesini, a renowned Italian expert zooanthropologist.
