Krátky popis
An exploration of how the image and idea of the dragon has evolved
through historyHow did the dragon get its wings? Everyone in the
modern West has a clear idea of what a dragon looks like and of the
sorts of stories it inhabits, not least devotees of the fantasies
of J. R. R.Tolkien, J. K. Rowling, and George R.R. Martin. A cross
between a snake and some fearsome mammal, often sporting colossal
wings, they live in caves, lie on treasure, maraud, and breathe
fire.They are extraordinarily powerful, but even so, ultimately
defeated in their battles with humans. What is theorigin of this
creature? The Dragon in the West is the first serious and
substantial account in any language of the evolution of the modern
dragon from its ancient forebears. Daniel Ogden's detailed
exploration begins with the drakon of Greek myth and the draco of
the dragon-loving Romans, and a look at the ancient world's female
dragons.It brings the story forwards though Christian writings,
medieval illustrated manuscripts, and the lives of dragon-duelling
saints, before concluding with a study ofdragons found in the
medieval Germanic world, including those of the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf
and the Norse sagas.
