These tales represent powers that people have dreamed of, conjured up and strived for through the ages. Many of the powers are present in popular culture, making the superheroes who wield them the direct descendants of characters such as the princess who could see through walls or the invulnerable Isfandiyar. Zalka excluded stories about magic or about gods with divine powers, and focused on less well-known stories. She included information on similar heroes, the ability in the story, sources of the powers, the origin of the story, teachings in it, the recommended age group, sources, variants, and comments.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 226mmItem Length: 150mmItem Weight: 341gAuthor: Csenge Virág ZalkaGenre: Literary CriticismTopic: Language & Reference, Society & Culture, Music Dance & TheatreISBN-10: 0786477040Item Width: 12mmRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
