-Titulo Original : Dinotopia, A Land Apart From Time: 20th Anniversary Edition (Calla Editions)-Fabricante : Calla Editions-Descripcion Original: 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. R. R. 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.

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...
