From the mysterious flora and fauna to the earth's hidden wonders, Poetic Mirror uses delicate hand-drawn illustrations and beautiful text to guide you on a journey through the ever-changing natural world, the past and present of ancient cities, and unexplored wilderness. Does our world have an end? Where exactly are its edges? Since the dawn of creation, wondrous lands have lingered in the imaginations and writings of great explorers. They emerge from the vast oceans, appear suddenly and vanish without a trace, or are shrouded in endless legends. For centuries, sailors, explorers, and prospectors have left behind countless tales of wonder and wonder about distant worlds: the island of Kythora, where Aphrodite was born; Colchis, where the Golden Fleece was hidden; the kingdom of Mutapa, teeming with monsters… More than a thousand words, these distant tales have inspired generations of explorers to leave their homes and venture into new continents. Inspired by Marco Polo, Columbus opened a sea route to Africa; James Cook, in his search for the unknown southern continent, discovered the land of Australia; and Portuguese sailors, propelled by the navigator Henry the Navigator, set sail to explore the west coast of Africa, eventually reaching the ancient lands of the East, rich in spices and gems. This book invites you to follow the journey from ancient Greece and Rome to the 16th century… Great explorers of the century, along with poets, well-rounded writers, and scholars from ancient times to the present, embark on a journey around the world to explore the past and present of 34 wondrous lands.
