I love these realistic, alternate reality, large-scale pieces that Segrelles, Schuiten and others come up with.
I mean, instead of conjuring up pure fantasy (and sometimes looking ridiculous), they’re riffing on known concepts that work perfectly well in our world. Haha, well most of the time, I guess.
Yes indeed, Segrelles thought about all the technical details. As you probably remember, the floating palace is an ultra light construction, based on a skeleton of balsa wood, covered in wickerwork, then laminated with parchment, which is made clear in this scene:
It’s been awhile, but I appreciate the closeup look.
I think there’s only one book I don’t have. If I can find that, I think it will be time to read the whole series again.
