Guía para descubrir nuevos mundos y nuevas novelas, o también para rememorar viajes que ya hicimos en el pasado mediante nuestra imaginación. El Arda de Tolkien, el Macondo de García Márquez o el Innsmouth de Howard Phillip Lovecraft son algunos de los muchos territorios míticos compediados en estas páginas.

Las ilustraciones de Graham Greenfields y los mapas y planos de James Cook convierten esta guía en un compendio de sitios de fantasía que bien podrían figurar en cualquier libro de viajes oficial.

L'imagination des hommes est telle qu'il ne leur suffit plus d'exercer leur soif de découverte sur le monde réel. Il leur faut conquérir les mondes parallèlles qui ne communiquent pas entre eux (quoique), mais forment, sous la plume alerte et synthétique d'Alberto Manguel, une cartographie de la "Terre du Milieu" des utopies d'écrivains qui se sont succédés au cours des âges. Et l'on se prend à rêver d'un cartographe ou d'un romancier qui représenterait tous ces mondes sur un globe idéal, qui publierait un nouveau roman mettant en scène plusieurs mondes. Car les livres communiquent entre eux, c'est sûr et l'oeuvre des hommes n'est simplement que d'accompagner cette entreprise créatrice qui les dépasse. Vastes travaux borgésiens dont ce dictionnaire atypique n'est qu'une brique de travail.

Et quelle brique ! Dans une synthèse très claire, accompagnée de schémas, l'auteur se fait un malin plaisir, mais sans doute inconscient de nous ouvrir les portes derrière lesquelles se trouvent le Pays des Merveilles, le Pays d'Oz, la Terre du Milieu, Utopia, l'Atlantide, TerreMer et tant d'autres. Ce dictionnaire n'est pas exhaustif, il ne le peut, mais il a un avantage : celui de faire voyager bien plus loin que n'importe quel guide de voyage car il nous emmène dans un voyage intérieur, dans l'infinie imagination humaine qui donne un avant-goût d'éternité.

I fell upon this book when it was first published like a punter attacking an ice-cream during the interval in an over-hot theatre. Just the title had me drooling, and once inside the book I was in seventh heaven. First of all it took places described in a range of literary works as literally true by giving each a Baedeker-style travel guide entry. Then, like any good Baedeker it provided maps and charts giving visual aids to familiar and unfamiliar locations. There have been at least two revised editions since 1980 but this was the first attempt to give an overview of dystopias, utopias, fantasy worlds and comic geographies from different cultures, languages and centuries. The mock-seriousness is sometimes leavened with equally tongue-in-cheek humour though I found that at times the terseness of some entries could be wearing.

Just a few examples of entries, almost at random, may give you a flavour. Bluebeard’s Castle, for example is described as “somewhere in France; the exact location remains unknown. The castle is famed for its many riches and fine furniture, tapestries and full-length mirrors with frames of gold. Travellers – in particular female ones – should proceed with caution…” Some places are in distant lands, such as King Solomon’s Mines, “discovered by Allan Quatermain’s expedition to Kukuanaland, Africa, in 1884″, or Shangri-La, which can “only be reached on foot and visitors are infrequent.” In contrast Ruritania is “a European kingdom reached by train from Dresden” while Wonderland is “a kingdom under England, inhabited by a pack of cards and a few other creatures.”

Here you can find entries for Atlantis and Oz, Camelot and Treasure Island, Middle Earth and Erewhon, Arkham and Hyperborea, Lilliput and Gormenghast, plus a plethora of more obscure places culled from even more obscure titles. Graham Greenfield’s wonderful line drawings have an antique quality about them which only adds to the sense of strangeness and wonder, while the maps and charts by James Cook are a joy to peruse and explore. Some maps from 1980 needed revision (Narnia, for example, had some crucial omissions and misplacements), but their consistent olde-worlde look (with hachures rather than contour lines, for instance, and Renaissance-style typeface) is charming and lends character to the whole presentation.

In addition to the alphabetical listing of places, the authors include an index of authors and titles to help you cross reference. For example, if you can’t remember some of the cities visited by Marco Polo in Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities they are handily included here. Which only helps to underscore that The Dictionary of Imaginary Places is a treasure chest to dip into again and again.

Foreword: In the winter of 1977 Gianni Guadalupi, with whom I had collected an anthology of true and false miracles for a Parmesan publisher, suggested that we prepare a short Baedecker or traveller's guide to some of the places of literature - he was thinking at the time of a guided tour of Paul Feval's vampire city, Selene.
