Description

The “Atlas des Cités Perdues” evokes the nostalgia of those towns, small and large, in Europe, Asia, America or Africa, which for various reasons have now disappeared: Antinoe, Carthage, Teotihuacan, Pompeii, Leptis Magna, Masada, Angkor, or Shi Cheng. Some names still resonate while others are just memories, and the author brings them alive and reminds us of their destiny. “While I love towns, these open, perpetually changing worlds, I love even more the ones that have gone silent, where a wealth of imagination can be deployed. Because they no longer exist,” she says, “they can become the ideal city, the one we have always dreamed of.”

Well-presented and illustrated, with two to four pages per lost city, this atlas lets us dream of a different world where these ruins once shone intact.
