Atlas of Remote Islands

Fifty Islands I Have Never Set Foot on and Never Will
Mar 15, 2018SPPL_János rated this title 3 out of 5 stars
Cartography *is* an art, and the conjuration here of faraway islands (all depicted at the same scale) with line and dot is quietly evocative for the armchair traveler. Each entry is accompanied with lyrical prose that tends to underscore the ungraspability of these lands even as their physical dimensions are precisely captured.
