Krátky popis
'A thrilling celebration of lighthouses' i newspaperAn enthralling
history of Britain's rock lighthouses, and the people who built and
inhabited themLighthouses are enduring monuments to our
relationship with the sea. They encapsulate a romantic vision of
solitary homes amongst the waves, but their original purpose was
much more noble, conceived as navigational gifts for the safety of
all. Still today, we depend upon their guiding lights for the safe
passage of ships.Nowhere is this truer than in the rock lighthouses
of Great Britain and Ireland: twenty towers built between 1811 and
1904, so-called because they were constructed on desolate, slippery
rock formations in the middle of the sea, rising, mirage-like,
straight out of the waves, with lights shining at the their
summits. Seashaken Houses is a lyrical exploration of these
magnificent, isolated sentinels, the ingenuity of those who
conceived them, the people who risked their lives building and
rebuilding them, those that inhabited their circular rooms, and the
ways in which we value emblems of our history in a changing world.
