Atlas der abgelegenen Inseln (Erfolgsausgabe)

When Judith Schalansky's Atlas was published twelve years ago, there was widespread enthusiasm for its idea, concept, and design: fifty remote islands - from Tristan da Cunha to Clipperton Atoll, from Christmas Island to Easter Island - organized by oceans, artfully illustrated, each accompanied by an absurdly profound story inspired by historical events and scientific reports. However, no one could have anticipated that the Atlas would not only become an international bestseller and an award-winning design object, but also herald a true era of poetic atlases and inspire countless imitators worldwide. And it has never been more relevant than today, as this book demonstrates: that the most adventurous journeys take place in the mind, with a finger on the map. It's high time for an expanded edition of success with a new preface and five new islands!.
