When James Gurney's Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time first appeared in 1992, it was immediately hailed as a fully imagined world of the caliber of J.
Tolkien's.
Gurney's premise of an undiscovered island where a race of mystical humans co-exists in harmony with intelligent dinosaurs has been since reiterated over and over in numerous films and by scores of other writers.
Now, Calla Editions brings Gurney's spectacular artistry to a new generation in this 20th anniversary edition.
Digitally re-rendered from the original transparencies, Gurney's dramatic panoramas of Dinotopia and close-up character studies of its inhabitants both human and saurian take on new vitality.
And as a tale of high adventure and discovery told as entries and sketches in journal form, Dinotopia presents a shipwrecked visitor's glimpse into an imagined social order, a culture, and even a cooperative interspecies technology that will satisfy lovers of fantasy and science fiction of all persuasions.
This edition includes a new Afterword written by author James Gurney as well as a special section of behind-the-scenes studies and maquettes he used in developing his paintings.
