How did dragons become extinct? Where did Tolkien get his inspiration for the dragon Smaug? Why is it hoped that children will be born in the year of the dragon?
Dragons are known in Western countries as ferocious fire-breathing beasts that star in numerous movies, games, books and songs. The creature we know today as a dragon is only scratching the surface of what is really revealed behind the dragon's scales. How did the benevolent Water God and symbol of imperial power originally from China become a monster eating young maidens in the Middle Ages and an intelligent and misunderstood creature in recent decades?
Environmental and cultural historian and docent of multispecies history Otto Latva takes the reader through the history of dragons, which is at least as long as that of humans. The myths and stories in the book shed light on the backgrounds of the beliefs and traditions associated with dragons and explain what meanings have been attached to dragons in different cultures at different times.
2024 is the year of the dragon.
