Weird Islands

Jean de Bosschère

4.9/5 (32394 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Weird Islands I know that this method would not suit a novel, where the main interest lies in the development of character and incident. But it is as natural as it is amusing in a story where the scenes are constantly changing, and where the interest is found partien larly in what the queer people, at every step, meet in the way of unexpected creatures and objects, fabu lous islands, conciliating and wicked monsters, and creatures who are comic or poetical. I had to show the ten travellers whose voyage had been recounted to me, to show their costumes, their faces, their weapons, and their musical instruments. And so I drew ten faithful portraits (since psychology was not concerned, nor symbolism, nor allegory, nor philosophy). When one of the people met a strange animal, or the Silent Island, or the Island of Long Women, or cannibals, or the building Cyclops, I have made drawings of these things and these creatures instead of giving a long description of them.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
