Infos

Thoroughly documented, a worldwide selection of places representing many attempts made by mankind through the ages to re-create a paradise on Earth. "e;Paradises got off to a bad start early on. The one the Bible had arranged had to rapidly close its pearly gates when its first two occupants, Adam and Eve, had misbehaved."e; According to Gilles Lapouge, paradise is a paradoxical creation of our imagination, blending hope and nostalgia. Historically, mankind has sought to fashion a paradise, which could be accessed during its lifetime: ideal cities, cities made of glass and steel, castles of freedom, etc. This atlas embarks us upon a journey across civilizations, through the exploration of 27 real or fictional places, including • gardens of the Middle Ages • Atlantis • the castles of King Ludwig II • Oceana • Pitcairn Island • city of Manoa • Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang Each place is illustrated with a specially designed map in a graphic style that has become the hallmark of this Atlas series.
