Das kleine Buch vom Meer: Leuchttürme

Lighthouses are not just navigational beacons that have guided captains through storms and past treacherous cliffs for centuries. They represent romance by the coast and are places of longing that attract photographers like a magnet. Myths and sailor tales surround each tower. They have inspired writers, painters, and filmmakers. Lighthouses are symbols of steadfastness and freedom. In the second volume of our series "The Little Book of the Sea," we dedicate ourselves to the most beautiful lighthouses and their stories. We meet the lighthouse keeper of Westerheversand, the most famous lighthouse in Northern Germany. We visit Roter Sand, the red-and-white landmark in the German Bight. We also describe the life of the Scottish lighthouse builder family, the Stevensons. We explore the lighthouses of Brittany as well as those in Maine. We have selected more than twelve lighthouses. This richly illustrated and elaborately designed book allows readers to dream of the most beautiful and wildest stretches of the coast. With the new series LITTLE BOOK OF THE SEA, Ankerherz creates a library of longing. A volume will be released for every season. For dreaming. For collecting. For gifting.
