Poetry, adventure novels, educational tales, historiographical research, myths and legends: Pratt’s literary universe is populated by quotations and references that seem to come to life from his mythological library.<\/p>\n

It begins with Homer<\/strong><\/em> and Ulysses<\/strong>, with the 26 complete plates of the Odyssey, created in 1963 for “Il Corriere dei piccoli” and continues with the navigations of Corto Maltese: towards Rapa Nui to sail the seas in the company of La Perouse<\/em> <\/strong>and towards Apia to meet Robert Louis Stevenson<\/em><\/strong>, to land in the Venice of Baron Corvo and again in the Midsummer Night’s Dream in the company of William Shakespeare<\/em><\/strong> or in Ethiopia to embrace Arthur Rimbaud<\/em><\/strong> accompanied by Pratt’s words.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
