Suspended between sea and sky, battered by the waves and the wind,
lighthouses mark the battlelines between the elements. They guard
the boundaries between the solid human world and the primordial
chaos of the waters; between stability and instability; between the
known and the unknown. As such, they have a strange, universal
appeal that few other manmade structures possess. Engineered to
draw the gaze of sailors, lighthouses have likewise long attracted
the attention of soldiers and saints, artists and poets, novelists
and filmmakers, colonizers and migrants, and, today more than ever,
heritage tourists and developers. Their evocative locations, their
isolation and resilience have turned these structures into complex
metaphors, magnets for stories. This book explores the rich story
of the lighthouse in the human imagination.
