About the book
The Classic of Mountains and Seas, also known as Shanhai jing is a Chinese classic text and a compilation of mythic geography and beasts. The text is largely a fabulous geographical and cultural account of pre-Qin China as well as a collection of Chinese mythology.
Between Chinese tradition and creation, discover this fantasy bestiary full of elegance and mystery that takes inspiration from the creatures of the Shanhai jing. The artist - Shen Xin's drawings are incredibly detailed; the creatures seem all the more alive, showing their ferocity and power to take the reader on a magical and an unequalled journey.
Volume 2 is even more thrilling, brimming with all the mythological and fantastic beasts in the Chinese tradition.
To learn more about the Shanhai jing check out its wikipedia page.
