Exploring some of the world's eeriest places, Abandoned Islands
features American civil war forts, Europe's last leper colony and
South Atlantic whaling stations, along with once grand mansions and
colonial settlements and churches, and much more. Arranged
geographically, the book takes us from New York's East River to
islands off Alaska, from a French Napoleonic-era fort off the coast
of Normandy to deserted villages on remote Scottish isles, from
Venetian sanatoria to Croatian penal colonies, Japanese mining
colonies to Sudanese deserted ports and abandoned atolls in the
Indian Ocean. Leafing through these pages, the reasons for
abandonment are revealed: climate change sealing off fresh water or
river channels, shifting economic forces making life too hard,
religious conflict, or wars disrupting daily life - or the absence
of war rendering a military settlement unnecessary. With more than
180 outstanding colour photographs and fascinating captions,
Abandoned Islands is a brilliant pictorial exploration of lost
worlds.

This luxurious hardback edition presents Dante's celebrated work, The Divine Comedy, with opulent gold cover embossing, striking illustrated page edges and classic illustrations by Gustave Doré.
Dante's Divine Comedy is regarded as a masterpiece of medieval literature, telling the story of Dante's descent into hell, his journey through purgatory and eventual ascent into heaven, with Virgil as his guide. Along with stirring adventures and boundless imagination are Dante's reflections on spirituality and the nature of faith and reason in the world.
From the pilgrim's deepening insight into the workings of evil and moral choice (Hell) through to the dramatization of the nature and purpose of moral conversion (Purgatory) to the blissfully mystical ascent before God (Paradise), Dante's cosmic vision remains unparalleled.
This beautiful hardback edition, with gold foil accents and stunning printed edges, includes Henry W. Longfellow's classic translation, 135 magnificent, full-page illustrations by Gustave Doré and a brilliant introduction by Anna Amari-Parker, full of accessible analysis of Dante's allegorical tale.
