The Resurrectionist - Hudspeth E. B. - książka
Producent: Random House
In Philadelphia during the late 1870s, a city characterized by gas-lit streets, cobblestones, and horse-drawn carriages, lived the contentious surgeon Dr. Spencer Black. A son of a grave robber, Dr. Black pursued his education at the prominent Academy of Medicine in Philadelphia. There, he formulated a radical theory: could humanity have evolved from mythological creatures such as mermaids, minotaurs, and satyrs? "The Resurrectionist" presents an intriguing dual narrative. The first part details the fictional biography of Dr. Black, tracing his journey from a childhood involved in grave digging to his medical education, his adventurous travels with carnivals, and ultimately his mysterious vanishing. The second part showcases Black's masterpiece: "The Codex Extinct Animalia," an anatomical guide akin to Gray's Anatomy, but for legendary creatures like dragons, centaurs, Pegasus, and Cerberus, all depicted in stunningly precise anatomical drawings. Merely glance at these illustrations to grasp the madness behind their creation. "The Resurrectionist" unveils his peculiar tale.
