Nile, Nile, Nile... Long of more than 6,500 kilometers and crossing more than ten countries, this legendary river welcomes life for millennia. The incredible Nile Crocodile, the sacred ibis, the deadly cobra, the powerful hippopotamus, and of course, the surprising shoebill... These emblematic animals from the region inhabit the waters from Lake Victoria to the Mediterranean Sea. But, the Nile isn't only biodiversity! Thanks to the precious fertile silt, its banks have seen a succession of civilisations. The most famous one, which is also the most impressive, is Ancient Egypt, which has fed many imaginations with its ingenuity and myths that we still have trouble explaining. Pages remain to be written! Today, the river is faced with environmental issues that challenge the 500 million people depending on its generosity.

Mount Fuji embodies the immortal soul of Japan. Japanese people worship it as a sage! It's fully part of their culture: it's on the bank bills, the logos of big brands, people book planes and trains to look at it... From afar, we can admire its perfect proportions, and upon closer inspection, it reveals all its treasures. For example, ice caves or underground galleries, memories of past eruptions.

With its beautiful illustrations, this book takes us on a fabulous trip to the land of the Rising Sun. Ready for the ascension? A fascinating exploration of Japanese culture through its greatest natural monument.
