鸦类在人类的想象力中发挥着巨大的作用。我们把乌鸦养在塔里，印在旗帜上，在星座中发现乌鸦，并向孤独的喜鹊致敬。可以看到在这个多样化的鸦类家族中，反映着人类的许多行为：它们是诡计多端的小偷，也是问题解决者和礼物赠送者。

从北欧传说到《权力的游戏》，这本设计精美的书展示了鸦类的视觉和文学生活。书中包括美丽而又暗藏诱惑的照片和绘画，以及以乌鸦为主角的文本和诗歌，还有关于乌鸦吸引人的特性的信息。

Corvids play an outsize role in the human imagination. We keep ravens in towers, emblazon rooks on banners, find crows in the constellations, and make sure to salute solitary magpies. We also see our own behavior mirrored in this diverse family of birds, who are tricksters and thieves as well as problem-solvers and gift-givers.

This beautifully designed book showcases the visual and literary life of the corvid, from Norse legends to Game of Thrones. It includes beautiful and darkly seductive photographs and paintings as well as texts and poems in which they play a starring role and information about the traits that make them so intriguing to us.
