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 co-exists 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 re-rendered from the original transparencies, Gurney's dramatic panoramas of Dinotopia and close-up 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 behind-the-scenes studies and maquettes he used in developing his paintings. Review: Good - Pricey but a great book. The book quality is very good. Review: A good read. - Interesting & wholesome read. Beautiful art.

Unübertroffene Illustrationen, eine zauberhafte und sehr lehrreiche Utopie!
Eine zauberhafte Erinnerung an die Kindheit meiner Kinder, die den Enkel genauso gefangen nahm. Die Illustrationen sind unübertroffen, die Utopie des friedlichen Zusammenlebens zweier so unterschiedlicher Spezies wie Menschen und Dinosaurier ist es ebenso. Leider lernen wir in der Realität absolut nichts dazu!

Absolutamente incrível!
Não sei como passei tanto tempo sem conhecer essa obra. É incrível, com uma construção de mundo empolgante e intrigante. Um prato cheio para quem ama dinossauros e fantasia. Estou lendo com o meu filho antes de dormir e ele está amando. Até mesmo espera ansiosamente por essa hora do dia. As ilustrações são outro show. A obra merece todas as estrelas possíveis.
