El libro de los seres casi imaginarios

The fertile imagination of the medieval world gave rise to bestiaries full of wonderful and surprising creatures: leviathans, myrmecoleons, manticores or sirens. However, it is not necessary to go so far, to a fantasy world, because ours, with its own nature, already provides us with all the wonders we could wish for. From the axolotl to the zebrafish, passing through many others, Caspar Henderson reveals to us a multitude of beings that almost seem to be the product of the imagination: real creatures that are more incredible than any invention in the pages of medieval bestiaries. From the bottom of the ocean to the most arid corners of the planet, Henderson captures the beauty and strangeness of many living beings that we thought we knew and others that we could never have imagined, inviting us to know in detail the world in which we live.
