Certainly monsters were present in the ancient religions of  Egypt and Mesopotamia; the Old Testament describes the giant land and sea monsters  Behemoth and Leviathan, while in the world of Classical mythology, monsters embody  the fantasies of the gods and the cruellest punishments of human beings. While we  may no longer worry about being eaten by trolls on the way home, there remains a  fascination with these creatures who have shadowed us throughout history. This book  explores monsters down the ages and throughout the world. It provides a dark yet  engrossing visual history of the human mind, lit up by flashes of wild and unearthly  inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HUNTS BOOKSHOP LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39944312848571,"sku":"9780500292556","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/8635\/9739\/files\/9780500292556.jpg?v=1713470388","url":"https:\/\/huntsbookshop.live\/products\/9780500292556","provider":"Hunt's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
