The Resurrectionist, or the Anatomy of Fantastic Creatures. The Lost Work of Dr. Spencer Black
39.99 €
Philadelphia, late 1870s. A city of gas lamps, cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages - and home to controversial surgeon Spencer Black. While studying at the prestigious Philadelphia Academy of Medicine, young Dr. Black, the son of a grave robber, developed an unusual hypothesis: what if the most famous mythical creatures-mermaids, minotaurs, and satyrs-are actually the evolutionary ancestors of humans? "The Resurrectionist is two amazing books in one. The first is a fictionalized biography of Dr. Spencer Black, from his childhood spent exhuming corpses, to his training in medicine, to his travels with carnivals, and finally his mysterious disappearance at the end. The second book is the major work of his life, The Codex of Extinct Animals. This is Gray's Anatomy for mythical creatures - dragons, centaurs, pegasi, cerberus - each presented in meticulously detailed anatomical illustrations. One look at these drawings is enough to realize: this is the creation of a madman. And The Resurrectionist is his story.
