Coles Atlas of Lost Paradises at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Thoroughly documented, a worldwide selection of places
representing many attempts made by mankind through the ages to re-create
a paradise on Earth.
"Paradises got off to a bad start early on. The one the
Bible had arranged had to rapidly close its pearly gates when its first two occupants, Adam and Eve, had misbehaved."
According to Gilles Lapouge, paradise is a paradoxical creation of our
imagination, blending hope and nostalgia. Historically, mankind has
sought to fashion a paradise, which could be accessed during its
lifetime: ideal cities, cities made of glass and steel, castles of
freedom, etc.
This atlas embarks us upon a journey across civilizations,
through the exploration of 27 real or fictional
places, including
• gardens of the Middle Ages
•
Atlantis
• the castles of King Ludwig II
• Oceana
• Pitcairn Island
• city of Manoa
• Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang
Each place is illustrated with a specially designed map in a graphic style that has become the hallmark of
this Atlas series.
