Description
The Atlas of Lost Cities brings to life the true stories of more than forty settlements from which life has vanished. Whether caused by human madness, natural disasters, historical upheavals, or economic decline, all these places raise questions. Sometimes they unsettle and frighten us, but they always open doors to a fascinating past. Beautifully illustrated, the book by French historian Aude de Tocqueville takes us from the futuristic Taiwanese town of San Zhi to the Ukrainian Pripyat, which was rapidly evacuated after the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, and to the Sumerian city of Mari, lost in the heart of Syria. The Atlas is published as part of the unique series Beyond the Horizon by the 65. pole publishing house.
