Island Dreams : Mapping an Obsession Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Pre-Order

Description

SHORTLISTED FOR WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEARIn Island Dreams, Gavin Francis combines stories of his own travels with psychology, philosophy and myth, shedding new light on the importance of islands and isolation in our collective consciousness. Francis draws on thirty years of island adventures from the Faroe Islands to the Aegean, from the Galapagos to the Andaman Islands.

He contrasts these quests for freedom with the demands for commitment required as a doctor, community member and parent.

Island Dreams riffs on the twin poles of rest and motion, independence and attachment, never more relevant than in today's ever-connected world.
