Brief Atlas of the Lighthouses at the End of the World

Product Features

• A unique illustrated exploration of our favorite oceanic beacons and their haunted histories.
• There is something beautiful and wild in the impossible architecture of lighthouses.
• These precariously perched structures have been the homes and workplaces of keepers whose romantic guardianship has saved countless lives from cruel seas.
• While that way of life may have faded away, as the lights go out and the buildings crumble, we still have their stories.
• This collection of more than thirty tales spans the heights and depths of human experience: the blind lighthouse keeper tending a light in the Arctic Circle, the intrepid young woman saving ships from wreck beginning at just age twelve, the desperate plight of a crew cut off for forty days with meager supplies, the lighthouse haunted by the clacking sound of a long-passed keeper’s ghostly typewriter.
• 106 pages.
