'Atlas of Improbable Places has that rare, through-the-wardrobe
quality. It is a delightful compendium of the strangest places on
the planet.’ DAILY TELEGRAPH 2020 WINNER OF THE EDWARD
STANFORD TRAVEL ILLUSTRATED BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD FOR Atlas of
Vanishing Places. In Atlas of Improbable Places, Travis Elborough
goes in search of the obscure and bizarre, the beautiful and
arcane. His unique atlas shows you the modern world from surprising
new vantage points. Discover the secret Soviet city of
Zheleznogorsk and the church tower of San Juan Parangaricutiro,
miraculously still standing as the sole survivor of a town sunk by
lava. Explore the underground realms of Beijing and Berlin, dug for
refuge and espionage, and the floating worlds of remote Palmerston
and the macabre Island of Dolls. Â The truths and myths
behind these hidden lairs, forgotten cities and improbable
wonders are as varied as the destinations themselves. These curious
places are not just extraordinary sights but reflections on our
relationship with the world around us. Acclaimed author and social
commentator, Travis Elborough, is a marvellous travel guide to the
world's most unusual corners.   ‘This engrossing
book traverses the heights and depths, the beauty and terror, of
our world.’ THE OBSERVER  ‘Understatedly expressive.’
NEW YORK TIMES  ‘Deeply researched – and really worth
your time.’ GQ
