Hoge Kwaliteit Fifty Islands / 1st Edition

In this new, updated version of Fifty Islands, the author takes us to the most remote islands in the world, mini-islands with a dark past, Spanish rock exclaves on the North African coast and small island states that hardly anyone knows. The author discovers the last kings of France, an uninhabited kingdom in the Caribbean Sea, a floating city in the Pacific Ocean, and numerous islands that were excavated for guano or phosphate or abused as plantation islands in the heyday of colonialism. The reader is taken to all corners of the world, islands full of history, obscure cultures and extinct species, such as the legendary dodo. The island enthusiast pur sang tells stories that no one can make up and is always looking for the promise of a new world that is embedded in every island.
