They encapsulate a romantic vision of solitary homes amongst the waves,  but their original purpose was much more noble, conceived as  navigational gifts for the safety of all. Still today, we depend upon  their guiding lights for the safe passage of ships. Nowhere is this  truer than in the rock lighthouses of Great Britain and Ireland: twenty  towers built between 1811 and 1904, so-called because they were  constructed on desolate, slippery rock formations in the middle of the  sea, rising, mirage-like, straight out of the waves, with lights shining  at the their summits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eS\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eeashaken Houses\u003c\/i\u003e is a  lyrical exploration of these magnificent, isolated sentinels, the  ingenuity of those who conceived them, the people who risked their lives  building and rebuilding them, those that inhabited their circular  rooms, and the ways in which we value emblems of our history in a  changing world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nancollas, Tom","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":52215425859923,"sku":"XE81846149375","price":11.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"New","offer_id":52215425892691,"sku":"9781846149375","price":22.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/nancollas-tom-tom-nancollas-seashaken-houses-2018-hardback-1199708950.jpg?v=1761483556","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/tom-nancollas-seashaken-houses-2018-hardback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
