[Pobierz] Mobi Stories in the Stars: An Atlas of Constellations
By Susanna Hislop
A beautifully illustrated Penguin Hardcover that invites readers to travel the
night sky and discover the universe of stories in the stars?To those who can
decipher it, the night sky is alive with gods and goddesses, animals and mythical
creatures?an endless carnival played out in shining constellations. Amidst this
jet-black canvas pricked with white dots, a hunter leaps in pursuit with his dogs
at his heels, a sea monster threatens a maiden in distress, and a pair of twins
lives forever.In Stories in the Stars, writer and stargazer Susanna Hislop and
international artist Hannah Waldron present an imaginative journey through
the heavens. Leaping between centuries, cultures, and traditions, they explore
each of the night sky?s eighty-eight constellations through gorgeous
illustrations and vivid descriptions that will linger in readers? minds long after
they?ve closed the book and stepped outside on a starry night.
