Description
Island Dreams Mapping an Obsession explores the human fascination with islands, weaving together stories of travel, psychology, philosophy, and literature to shed new light on the importance of islands and isolation in our collective consciousness.
Through a personal journey spanning thirty years of extraordinary travel and a life of responsibility, Gavin Francis examines the twinned poles of rest and motion, independence and attachment, revealing their relevance in today's interconnected world.
Illustrated with maps throughout, this book is a celebration of human adventures in the world and within our minds, inviting readers to reflect on the role of islands in our lives and our understanding of ourselves.
