Myths of the Seas and Oceans is a unique version of tales and legends directly connected to sea and ocean themes. The author of the book, a notable Polish sailor and journalist, Krzysztof Baranowski, introduces the reader to carefully selected ancient and mediaeval mythological and literary stories. As we read, we meet the most popular water deities, kings and heroes, we set off on a cruise with the bravest sailors to the most far-away islands, and we discover the mysteries of sea monsters, whose most important task is to defend the territories that they oversee. The reproductions of world art that we find alongside the text present famous, as well as lesser-known images of the heroes and beasts. It is a must-read for all lovers of this genre of literature.
