A Book of Giants - Tarl Warwick - Bog

- Tales of Very Tall Men of Myth, Legend, History, and Science

Bag om A Book of Giants

The idea of giant men, animals, and other beings is one which has been treated of profusely through the centuries from antiquity to modernity. Henry Wysham Lanier here compiled some of the most notable tales of this kind into one work, adding in the then-modern idea of giants being not only real in the pseudobiblical sense but present even in relatively recent times.From the cyclops of Homeric lore to the giants of the high middle ages, and from the cold lands of Thor and Odin to the Mesoamerican tropics, this work is at once interesting as a fictional tale and useful as a historical one.
