"This book is dedicated to the most attractive lighthouses in the world, the lighthouses of our dreams, history, legends, films and novels: the small, slender lighthouses isolated amongst the rollers on a stormy coast, reachable only by boat, visited only by seagulls and inhabited by an old retired sailor who receives his post once a week. Spectacular photographs, during a storm or during the night, and views of the interiors (with the most unusual furniture) accompany the descriptions of the lighthouses over the centuries, their technological development, and the complex psychology of the solitude of their keepers. The book describes the individual characteristics, location and history of these extraordinary coastal monuments, now on the way to extinction.".
