About the Book

Los faros quiza surgieron para calmar la desesperacion de quienes esperaban el retorno de los barcos perdidos en la oscuridad de la noche. Al principio, no eran mas que grandes hogueras encendidas sobre los acantilados y confiadas a un vigilante que habia obtenido un cierto prestigio en este ritual, pero cuando las ciudades crecieron junto a las costas y se construyeron los primeros puertos, los faros se convirtieron en inmensas torres, como, por ejemplo, la que guiaba los barcos que llegaban a Alejandria, en la isla de Pharos, o la conocida como el Coloso de Rodas, bajo cuyas piernas los barcos entraban en el puerto. En el siglo xix ―el siglo de los faros― fueron construidos la mayoria de los que hay en el mundo que, paulatinamente, pasaron a tener mayor alcance y brillo, gracias a los descubrimientos del fisico frances Augustin Fresnel que creo un sistema de lentes que concentraban toda la luz en el centro, al margen del combustible que aceite, gas acetileno o modernas lamparas halogenas. Este libro esta dedicado a los faros mas atractivos del mundo, los faros de nuestros suenos, con sus caracteristicas, su historia y sus leyendas, pero tambien a aquellos faros pequenos y aislados que se levantan en medio del oceano o sobre abruptos acantilados accesibles solo en barco, y habitados por viejos marineros retirados que reciben su correo una vez a la semana. Fotografias espectaculares tomadas durante una tormenta o durante la noche, y vistas del interior (a veces con los muebles mas inusuales) enriquecen el texto que nos habla de cada faro, de su localizacion, de su desarrollo tecnologico, de sus avatares y de la compleja psicologia de los fareros que viven en soledad, en estos extraordinarios monumentos costeros ahora en vias de extincion tal como los hemos conocido.
