Description
A remarkable educational book by the beloved Slovak author Dominika Sakmárová, The Cat-Headed Eagle, will take you on an extraordinary journey into the mysteries of the Far East. Together with the eagle with a cat's head, you will soar over the Great Chinese "Radiator" Wall, meet a sleeping dragon and a horned monster, land at the imperial court, on the island of women of the sea, or in the crowns of stinking ginkgo trees, and even stop by the crickets in their winter pumpkin abode. And where won't you land? Well, certainly not on the 4th floor... Dominika Sakmárová, a sinologist and author of successful books such as Cat Fur and Camel at the Great Wall of China and Korean Dumplings, will reveal nearly a hundred surprising and often amusing facts from Chinese and Korean culture in her new book and introduce several historical periods, from the time of the first Chinese dynasty to the present. The texts are enlivened by photographs and original illustrations by Michaela Ahonen.
