Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
When James Gurney's Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time first appeared in 1992, it was immediately hailed as a fully imagined world of the caliber of J. R. R. Tolkien's. Gurney's premise of an undiscovered island where a race of mystical humans coexists in harmony with intelligent dinosaurs has been since reiterated over and over in numerous films and by scores of other writers. Now, Calla Editions brings Gurney's spectacular artistry to a new generation in this 20th anniversary edition. Digitally rerendered from the original transparencies, Gurney's dramatic panoramas of Dinotopia and closeup character studies of its inhabitants both human and saurian take on new vitality. And as a tale of high adventure and discovery told as entries and sketches in journal form, Dinotopia presents a shipwrecked visitor's glimpse into an imagined social order, a culture, and even a cooperative interspecies technology that will satisfy lovers of fantasy and science fiction of all persuasions. This edition includes a new Afterword written by author James Gurney as well as a special section of behindthescenes studies and maquettes he used in developing his paintings.
