"The island is paradise and hell!"
If some people do not believe that there are still isolated, remote, hidden, uninhabited or sparsely populated islands in the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and the Arctic and Southern Oceans, then this is a quiet and beautiful book that can arouse readers' meticulous perception. Books are a must-read.
The author of this book is Judith. Judith Schalansky was born in Greifswald, then East Germany, in 1980. During her childhood, people in East Germany were not allowed to cross the border, and they had the luxury of talking about traveling to other places. With only an atlas at home and his own rich fantasies, the young Charansky completed one "fingertip tour" around the world.
When she carefully observed the geographical shape of each country and region on the map, she couldn't help but start to imagine the local historical stories. This kind of game-like reading not only satisfied her curiosity about the outside world, which grew up in a closed environment, but also made her fall deeply in love with atlases, a wonderful thing that uses abstract and concise symbols and lines to show the real world. As she came of age, Sharansky turned this hobby into a creative work. This is the origin of this book.
She uses exquisite drawing techniques and fascinating text descriptions. Through the superposition of visuals and texts, she connects her research results and rich imagination to summarize the history, natural science, local allusions and legends of the fifty islands. Catch them all. This atlas will not only appeal to bookworms who like to sink into their sofas and read, but it will also inspire intrepid explorers and tourists who prefer exotic places to want to explore!
