Product specs

Atlas of Lost Paradises by Gilles Lapouge explores humanity’s recurring attempts to imagine, locate or build paradise on Earth. Moving between myth, philosophy, architecture and history, it treats paradise as an idea shaped as much by nostalgia and hope as by geography.

Key features

  • Travels through real and imagined places associated with utopian ideals.
  • Looks at ideal cities, planned communities and other attempts to turn a perfect society into a physical place.
  • Connects cartography and cultural history with myths of lost or inaccessible worlds.
  • Approaches the subject globally rather than through a single religious or historical tradition.
