History of Legendary Places

A tour accompanied by pictures through legendary lands and places. In our imagination, there are many towns and places that never existed, from the cottage of the Seven Dwarfs to the islands visited by Gulliver, from Madame Bovary's house to Sherlock Holmes' apartment.

But in general, we know that these places arise only from the imagination of a storyteller or poet. On the contrary, since the earliest times, people have lived in Atlantis, Mu, Lemuria, the land of the Queen of Sheba, the kingdom of Priest Johannes, the Isles of the Blessed, Eldorado, Ultima Thule, Hyperborea, the Garden of the Hesperides (where the Holy Grail is hidden), Hashasi. He dreamed of places thought to be real, such as his Castle, the Land of Plenty, the Utopian islands, Solomon Island, Terra Australis ("Southern Land"), the inner surface of the hollow Earth, and the mysterious underground kingdom of Agartha.

Some of these places have given life to simply fascinating legends and inspired some of the exquisite visual depictions featured in this book. Some of them have become an obsession in the minds of mystery hunters. Some of these places became the driving force of travel and exploration; Thus, travelers from all over the world followed an empty dream and discovered other towns.
