Описание: A Chinese Bestiary presents a fascinating pageant of mythical creatures from a unique and enduring cosmography written in ancient China. The Guideways through Mountains and Seas, compiled between the fourth and first centuries B.C.E., contains descriptions of hundreds of fantastic denizens of mountains, rivers, islands, and seas, along with minerals, flora, and medicine. The text also represents a wide range of beliefs held by the ancient Chinese. Richard Strassberg brings the Guideways to life for modern readers by weaving together translations from the work itself with information from other texts and recent archaeological finds to create a lavishly illustrated guide to the imaginative world of early China.
Unlike the bestiaries of the late medieval period in Europe, the Guideways was not interpreted allegorically; the strange creatures described in it were regarded as actual entities found throughout the landscape. The work was originally used as a sacred geography, as a guidebook for travelers, and as a book of omens. Today, it is regarded as the richest repository of ancient Chinese mythology and shamanistic wisdom. The Guideways may have been illustrated from the start, but the earliest surviving illustrations are woodblock engravings from a rare 1597 edition. Seventy-six of those plates are reproduced here for the first time, and they provide a fine example of the Chinese engraver's art during the late Ming dynasty.
This beautiful volume, compiled by a well-known specialist in the field, provides a fascinating window on the thoughts and beliefs of an ancient people, and will delight specialists and general readers alike.

Never before seen information is revealed in this tome as the reader is taken on a journey through the most fantastical tales of animals that have been known to a precious few through the aeons of time and mind. The Supernatural Beasts within us are strange reflections and mirrors of the true nature of humanity and deserve an intense study by the city going populace of modern times lest we forget our primitive origins and the animals that live in us all. In this Chthonic adventure through the possibilities of the subconscious and conscious awareness, the creatures exposed come to light in our awareness and guide us on our path of the difficult tread of our emotions and suppressed feelings of instinct. The lessons of the Animals from these ancient stories can assist us to deepen our engagement with the Earth, nature and the living beings of our planet. A keen knowledge of history and prehistory through these tales is a weapon wielded against missteps in this life and can prove a valuable resource. Do not be afraid and do not look away for once familiar with the mythological beasts, you shall see them spread before your view in every person you meet.

"The poems in Elise Paschen's Bestiary explore domestic preoccupations set against the backdrop of the wild-heartedness, real and imagined, of the animal world," praises the poet Jason Shinder. In this modern-day Bestiary, or "Book of Beasts," the line between animal and human is thinly-drawn - the daughter of a Celtic king, through love, is transformed from beast to human; lovers take flight as moon and owl; manatees transform, before the explorers' eyes, into mermaids. This dynamic runs throughout the collection: taking flight, hovering between air and earth, plunging, and then resurfacing from water. The poems create a constant engagement between what tethers us to our daily lives - marriage, motherhood, raising a family, the loss of parents in old age - and the desire for other worlds. Exploring notions of transformation, these poems cross thresholds between animal and human, between death and life.
Award-winning poet, Elise Paschen, creates in her third and most complex poetry collection, work which is elegant and passionate, preternaturally still and reckless all at once. Paschen displays a variety of form and nuance - from ghazals to long-lined free verse poems. Writing out of a distinct Western literary tradition, but tapping into her Native American (Osage) roots, Paschen celebrates the mythic, the unusual, the magical glimpsed in the everyday.

Walerian Borowczyk was far and away the classiest of sleazy film-makers, and the sleaziest of the classy ones. Starting as an animator and director of visually rich kafkaesque fantasies ("Blanche," "Goto, Island of Love") he went on to divide audiences by moving into graphic erotica ("Immoral Tales," "The Beast") and subsequently worked his way through exploitation tropes (nunsploitation, Jeksploitation, togasploitation) before creatively imploding spectacularly with his bizarre contribution to the Emmanuelle series. Inspired in look and feel by seventies film and filth mags like "Continental Film Review" and "Sex Stars System," the present author does not much value coherence or consistency. He is interested in contexts and connections, obscure minutiae, jokes (he will judge what is funny), and blurry screen grabs of topless women from seventies softcore flicks. Whilst not ideal, it's better than nothing. Probably. You figure it out. Plus INDEX

Bestiary: An Imaginary Menagerie is an art book organized within the framework of an A-Z alliterative alphabet with a preface and artist's notes.
From the Preface:
"Creating a bestiary or illustrated collection of real and imaginary animals is one of those ideas that simmered slowly for years on my imagination's back burner. Unexpectedly, it began bubbling again in November of 2015 as I came across some journal notes that sketched out the parameters of such a project.
Pausing at a drawing of a unicorn, I began to wonder about our fascination with bestiaries. These colorful hybrids of letterforms and fanciful illustrations first appeared during the medieval era as artists were commissioned by nobility and wealthy merchants to interpret their na ve descriptions of strange creatures seen on their voyages to exotic lands.
Yet, despite our greatly evolved knowledge of zoology since then, why does this timeless literary art form remain popular among the offerings of contemporary publishers? I propose that it does so because we have yet to fully understand the synthesis of our own evolving animal natures with the gifts of speech, writing and acumen.
That said, I've always loved to draw animals and have featured them in many original works of art. However, most of my animals are not portrayed realistically; I prefer to imbue them with qualities that reflect our human fortes and foibles. Those bestiary illustrations in which the animals display such attributes were important inspirations for this book. They can be found in The Aberdeen Bestiary (1200 AD), The Northumberland Bestiary (1250-1260 AD) and The Tudor Bestiary (1520 AD). Among my favorite 20th century editions are: Jungle-Jangle by Peter Newell (1909) and The Bestiario Moderno made in 1968 by Domenico Gnoli.
In designing BESTIARY: AN IMAGINARY MENAGERIE, I've framed each illustration with an alphabetical alliteration both for organizational purposes and simply because it was great fun to do My hope is that my efforts will complement the voluminous body of bestiaries throughout history that are tributes to the wonders of creation and to our human imagination...
