Encyclopedia Mythologica: Gods and Heroes Pop-Up by Matthew Reinhart
The creators of the New York Times best-selling Encyclopedia Prehistorica series offer a mythic look at the mysteries of the past with an entire pantheon of remarkable pop-ups. A collector's edition For all of recorded history, humans have sought to understand Earth's mysteries in the realm of the divine -- and aspired to conduct themselves as heroes. Only gods, of course, could push the sun across the sky, forge entire continents, and impel mountains to touch the clouds. In this stunning volume, the incomparable team of Matthew Reinhart and Robert Sabuda take us to Ra-Atum's land in Ancient Egypt; above the Grecian clouds to Zeus's Mount Olympus; up to Norse god Odin's frozen north; to the Far East, where the Jade Emperor sits in the heavens; into the wilds of Oceania, where Pele's volcanic rage simmers below the earth; and to many more lands and times, all rich with sacred myths and legends.
From as far back as Matthew Reinhart can remember, art always took center stage. Despite moving several times throughout childhood, his sketchbook was always nearby, a constant friend wherever his family roamed. An avid comic, fantasy, and science-fiction fanatic, Reinhart has created a huge array of pop culture pop-ups like his bestselling blockbusters Star Wars: A Galactic Pop-Up Adventure, Frozen: A Pop-Up Adventure, Lego Pop-Up, and many more. He is also the creator of the Pop Magic series, an innovative line of interactive preschool books including What's Up, Fire Truck? and Colors: My First Pop-Up! He lives in San Francisco. Toby Leigh is an award-winning illustrator and artist with an eye for the peculiar. He is a regular contributor to publications such as the Guardian, the Times, the Independent, Esquire, Empire, and Time Out. He lives in London.
