Author Gilles Lapouge believes the concept of a paradise on earth is a paradoxical creation of our imagination, a heady blend of hope and nostalgia. Here he explores 27 such places, some geographically real and some fictional, including the gardens of the Middle Ages, the castles of King Ludwig II, Pittcairn Island, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, Atlantis, and many more. This atlas takes us on an odyssey through time and across civilisations. Would make a beautiful gift.
