Interactive Volume – Hundreds of Full-Color Images and QR Codes Lighthouses of the World is a luminous and evocative journey through the towers that have shaped coastlines, guided sea routes, and inspired imaginations—from Cape Byron to Cordouan, from Lindau to La Jument, including remote ocean beacons, rocky islets, and fog-shrouded silhouettes lost in time. Each lighthouse is portrayed as a beacon of light and memory, where architecture, history, and symbolism merge in unique ways. The book presents 50 of the most iconic lighthouses on the planet, selected for their geographical, historical, scenic, and symbolic significance. Alongside still-operational structures, it also features lighthouses that have vanished or been reduced to ruins, yet remain vividly alive in the collective imagination. A narrative, visual, and digital atlas that spans continents and centuries—through solitary towers, rugged coastlines, and seafaring legends. The full-color images capture the beauty and power of these monuments of light; the texts tell their stories, reveal their secrets, and trace their evolution. The immersive experience is enhanced by QR codes throughout the volume: simply scan them with a smartphone or tablet to unlock multimedia content, videos, documentaries, satellite views via Google Earth, and interactive maps.
