  Qui ne re^ve pas de de´couvrir une cite´ perdue ? Qui ne ressent pas une certaine me´lancolie devant des vestiges d'une civilisation passe´e ? Comment ne pas fre´mir devant la fragilite´ de notre plane`te face aux changements climatiques en cours ?
  
  Pour ce quatrie`me volume de la collection, Travis Elborough a repris la route en que^te de lieux disparus, e´vanouis, volatilise´s - en tout ou parties. On le suit classiquement a` Alexandrie, Tombouctou ou Venise, mais aussi sur les pentes des glaciers du Montana, sur les rives du Danube, le long de la rivie`re souterraine de Londres, jusqu'aux confins de l'Inde, de la Libye, de la Colombie, de la Chine ou de la Jamai¨que. Chemin faisant, il redonne aux lieux visite´s leur visage d'antan. Photographies et cartes - signe´es Martin Brown - re´ve`lent alors les merveilles du passe´ et les comparent aux vestiges du pre´sent.

  Qui n'a jamais contemplé une carte du monde en rêvant aux merveilles qu'elle dissimule ?

Dans ce troisième atlas de la collection, Travis Elborough poursuit son exploration mondiale des lieux inattendus, des bizarreries architecturales et autres curiosités de notre planète. À partir des cartes de Martin Brown et de documents photographiques, il cultive notre goût de l'insolite et du voyage. Des villages flottants du lac Titicaca aux arbres biscornus de Slope Point en Nouvelle-Zélande, des hauteurs vertigineuses d'un monastère taoïste à l'écho souterrain d'une grotte aux coquillages, Travis Elborough nous raconte un monde insoupçonné.
