简介
数千年以来,在诸多文明中,龙都存在于人们的想象之中。它们横穿广阔的大陆,飞跃无垠的海洋,出没在最的征程之中,盘踞在最古老的图腾之上,直到现在……或许真的存在这么一个世界,人类与龙族共存。 它们长眠于宫殿瓦当上与檐顶垂脊中,在晚春近夏时点灵现身,昂首蜿蜒天地间,带来甘霖驱散久旱,龙佑岁丰。它们出没于神秘古堡中与黑暗深渊里,在领土遭受侵袭时直插云霄,带火移星陆,升云出鼎湖,带来和平驱散邪恶,龙佑土安。 这是一本汇集东西方奇幻龙族生物的图鉴,收录了13大类别,93个品种的龙族生物。近300幅栩栩如生的图片,极具神话色彩和恢弘之美,令最为震撼的梦境成为现实。
《地球龙族图鉴》的作者威廉·奥康纳是纽约科幻协会年度最佳职业艺术家,本书连续160周高踞美国亚马逊神话与传说榜前3名,并获得美国切斯利最佳艺术奖提名。
