The definitive map to understanding love. A successor to the fables of Paulo Coelho and Jostein Gaarder, written by the acclaimed authors of Pulsations, who have already conquered the hearts of more than 100,000 readers.
Olimpia does not understand why her father, who abandoned her and her mother two months previously to embark on a sea voyage without giving any explanation, shows no sign of life even on the day she turns 18. She wonders how he could forget about her on such an important day until she discovers a package in the mailbox. When she unwraps it she finds it is an old book, an atlas that apparently belonged to Lord Byron and that contains an enigmatic explanation of the five continents of love.
Driven by the need to cope with her dramatic family situation and encouraged by her best friend, Olimpia accepts the challenge of seeking her ideal love on the five continents to discover to where her heart belongs. On her journey she will not only meet five different types of lovers, but also receive a vital, universal lesson in love.
