Krátky popis
`Think of this atlas as the beginning of a journey and a kind of
island guidebook, a rough guide to far-flung places, a Baedeker of
make-believe, and a new page waiting to be filled. The cycle of
Crusoes continues' Huw Lewis-Jones Islomania is a recognized
affliction. But what is it about islands that is so alluring, and
why do so many people find these self-contained worlds completely
irresistible? Utopia and Atlantis were islands, and islands have
captured the imaginations of writers and artists for
centuries.Venetian sailors were the first to make collections of
them by drawing maps of those they visited in their isolari -
literally the `island books'. Then in 1719 Daniel Defoe published
his tale of a castaway on a desert island, Robinson Crusoe, one of
the first great novels in the history of literature and an instant
bestseller. Defoe's tale combined the real and the imagined and
transformed them into a compelling creative landscape, establishing
a whole literary genre and unleashing the power of an island for
storytelling.To celebrate the tercentenary of Robinson Crusoe's
publication, a truly international range of leading illustrators
imagine they too have been washed up on their own remote island. In
a specially created map they visualize what it looks like, what
it's called and what can be found on its mythical shores. In a
panoply of astonishingly creative and often surprising responses,
we are invited to explore a curious and fabulous archipelago of
islands of invention that will beguile illustrators, cartographers
and dreamers alike.
