Atlas majáků na konci světa – Macías González (2022)

A blind keeper guards the light in the far, freezing north; a brave girl sets out to rescue several castaways; a terrifying ghost inside the lighthouse types at night; an eccentric merchant erects an incredible tower on the open sea; two feuding lighthouse keepers live together on an islet and suffer from claustrophobia. Lighthouses in the most inhospitable corners of the world intertwine with the extraordinary stories of Edgar Allan Poe, Virginia Woolf, and Nelson Mandela, infused with solitude, madness, courage, and joy. The Atlas of Lighthouses at the End of the World – its title referencing Jules Verne's book The Lighthouse at the End of the World – is a collection of thirty-four stories based on real events, complemented by illustrations, nautical maps, architectural sketches, and curiosities related to lighthouses in the most remote corners of the world. It is not a geography textbook, but a passport for romantic travelers. The book has won an award from the Spanish Ministry of Culture. It is published as another unique release in the Beyond the Horizon series by 65. pole.
