LibrAdventures is an award-winning literary atlas which allows you to explore locations associated with famous authors and works of literature.
How did Sherlock Holmes and John Watson meet? Where was Frankenstein created? What happened to the queen of crime Agatha Christie during her sudden disappearance in 1926? What led to the creation of the Shakespeare & Company bookstore and its revival? Where did Virginia Woolf write A Room of One’s Own? What prompted J.M. Barrie to write Peter Pan?
An immersive journey through literature and the arts, the interactive atlas puts the events in context, explaining why a place has been important in someone’s career, private life and literary history.
LibrAdventures has been officially showcased and promoted by the communication services of Google Maps, as well and by other national branches of the Google company and became the laureate of Google Maps « MAPS HACK » Program.
