Imaginary animals : the monstrous, the wondrous and the human
Sax, Boria2013
Book
Legends tell us that imaginary animals belong to a primordial time, before everything in the world had names, categories, and conceptual frameworks. In this book, Boria Sax digs into the stories of these fabulous beasts. He shows how, despite their liminal role, imaginary animals like griffins, dog-men, yetis, and more, are socially constructed creatures, created through the same complex play of sensuality and imagination as real ones.
