Atlas of Lost Civilizations
This
atlas takes us on an exploration of the world, to encounter some
of the brilliant and more obscure civilizations that have shaped
history.
Like stars, civilizations and peoples are born; they live and they die.
Sumerians, Spartans, Etruscans, Moche, Aksumites, Mayans, and Mongolian nomads have one thing in common: over the course of several centuries or a few decades, they lived a remarkable way of life, developed elaborate skills, and shone through their artistic achievements, their culture, their medical expertise, or their knowledge of the stars.
From the Aztecs with their fatal calendar, to the Rapa Nui with their strange Moai scanning the horizon, or, more recently, the Tasmanians and Herero with their tragic destiny, and the Ona and Alakaluf of Tierra del Fuego, this atlas takes us on a poetic exploration of the world, to encounter some of the brilliant and more obscure civilizations that have shaped history.[AuthorName]By Dominique Lanni and Illustrated by Camille Renversade[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Dominique Lanni is a professor at the University of Malta and specializes in the modes of representation of otherness and travel literature. He has published Bestiaire fantastique des voyageurs (2014), Atlas of Dream Lands (2023), Heureux qui, comme Hannibal (2020), and Mary (2022).
Camille Renversade is an artist, author-illustrator, sculptor, and chemist who graduated from the École Émile-Cohl in Lyon. He specializes in cryptozoology and has produced seven books on the subject, including Créatures Fantastiques Deyrolle, published by Plume de carotte, as well as numerous artistic creations.[/AuthorBio][NumIllustration]32 color illustrations[/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][/CoAuthor][SubTitle][/SubTitle][ColorPattern]32 color illustrations[/ColorPattern]
