Book Description
Release date: May 21, 2013
Philadelphia, the late 1870s. A city of gas lamps, cobblestone streets, and horse-drawn carriages—and home to the controversial surgeon Dr. Spencer Black. The son of a grave robber, young Dr. Black studies at Philadelphia’s esteemed Academy of Medicine, where he develops an unconventional hypothesis: What if the world’s most celebrated mythological beasts—mermaids, minotaurs, and satyrs—were in fact the evolutionary ancestors of humankind?

The Resurrectionist offers two extraordinary books in one. The first is a fictional biography of Dr. Spencer Black, from a childhood spent exhuming corpses through his medical training, his travels with carnivals, and the mysterious disappearance at the end of his life. The second book is Black’s magnum opus: The Codex Extinct Animalia, a Gray’s Anatomy for mythological beasts—dragons, centaurs, Pegasus, Cerberus—all rendered in meticulously detailed anatomical illustrations. You need only look at these images to realize they are the work of a madman. The Resurrectionist tells his story.

< 這本書從何而來呢~其實約在十九世紀的後期，有一位Spencer Black的醫生，他是一個相當不平凡的人，據說他可能是盜墓者跟外科醫生的兒子~也因為有此特殊的背景，讓他在童年的時候就接觸到許多同齡小朋友接觸不到的事情~直至後期Spencer Black開始一頭鑽進研究神話生物、進化論、解剖學的世界裡，到他神祕失蹤為止...有關他的一切都很神祕！？>
