Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. In this volume, through a story told with love and respect for the subject by the award-winning author, Benoit Peeters, and brought to life through the imagination and illustrations of legendary Belgian artist, Francois Schuiten, the creators follow the legendary Captain Nemo, as he awakens from his eternal slumber, only to find himself being transported around the world under the sea aboard a freakish hybrid of Octopus and his infamous submarine, the Nautilus, referred to as the Nauti-Octopus. Through the story, the sea captain gains clarity of mind as well as body as he is transported towards Amiens, the home of his creator, Jules Verne. In this final installment of the internationally acclaimed graphic novel series, Les Cites Obscures (The Obscure Cities), The Return of Captain Nemo has been produced in conjunction with a sculpture installation being built in Amiens, France, to commemorate the bicentennial of Jules Vernes' birth. Illustrated throughout with full-page and sequential illustrations, this volume also includes full-page reproductions of Schuiten's illustrations from the 1994 French edition of Jules Vernes' lost novel, Paris in the Twentieth Century, and essays on Verne and Schuiten by Benoit Peeters.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Welcome to Edmund Spenser's 1590s epic poem, The Faerie Queene. This richly illustrated, text-faithful, line-by-line prose rendering transports modern readers into a vast narrative tapestry. Knights traverse diverse fantastical landscapes including the shadowy depths of an enchanted forest, a treacherous underwater lair, a mysterious subterranean kingdom, and the deadly Bower of Bliss. Through these realms stride Spenser's unforgettable knights--brave yet fallible, powerful yet vulnerable--as they confront ferocious monsters, cunning wizards, beguiling enchantresses, and even encounter young Prince Arthur, who wanders Faerie Land consumed by his passion for Gloriana, the elusive Faerie Queene. Many have attempted to read Spenser's original masterpiece only to retreat, daunted by language that was deliberately archaic even in Elizabethan times. Classical educator Rebecca K. Reynolds bridges this gap, crafting a prose adaptation that gradually introduces more of Spenser's distinctive vocabulary and diction. By the final volume, readers will find themselves prepared to engage directly with Spenser's original text with confidence and delight. For four hundred years, Spenser's realm has captivated powerful creative minds, igniting literary movements and inspiring countless works. So, take a few first steps with us through the mist-shrouded edges of Faerie Land. As C.S. Lewis wisely observed: "The Faerie Queene never loses a reader it has once gained. Once you have become an inhabitant of its world, being tired of it is like being tired of London, or of life." VOLUME ONE: BOOK ONE: The Red Cross Knight embarks on what first seems a straightforward quest to slay a dragon, rescue a maiden, and save a kingdom. Yet beneath this familiar chivalric framework, Spenser weaves a profound spiritual allegory. As our noble but naive hero confronts not only external terrors but also the labyrinth of his own flawed heart, he discovers a humbling truth: a hero must be rescued before he can save anyone. BOOK TWO: Sir Guyon navigates a world designed to test every facet of self-restraint. Refusing to present temperance as mere moderation, Spenser plunges his knight into the psychological complexities of human desire. As Guyon journeys toward Acrasia's Bower of Bliss, he confronts increasingly seductive temptations, ultimately destroying the beautiful but corrupting bower. Through Guyon's trials, Spenser explores the vigilance required to maintain virtue in the face of enticement. VOLUME TWO: BOOK THREE: A king's daughter turns errant knight as Britomart dons armor to search Faerie Land for Artegall, a man she's seen only in a vision. Spenser's tale of chastity is neither safe nor demure. Instead, it follows the treacherous journeys of four women. Britomart actively wields her enchanted spear in pursuit of marital union, Amoret patiently endurestrials of true love, Belphoebe maintains her sovereign independence while inspiring devoted admiration, and Florimell relentlessly flees violation. Spenser uses each character's narrative to frame a purity that extends beyond passive innocence into active virtue. BOOK FOUR: Book Four orchestrates a symphonic exploration of friendship and love in their myriad forms. Characters from previous books converge as bonds are forged and shattered, jealousies flare, reconciliations bloom, and love proves both poisonous and healing. With masterful poetic dexterity, Spenser interweaves spectacular magical events with intimate everyday emotions to reveal the complexities of human relationships. VOLUME THREE: BOOK FIVE: Sir Artegall, champion of justice, and his merciless iron companion Talus embark on a mission that has troubled readers for centuri Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
