About

The world is full of geographical anomalies that sometimes cause diplomatic tensions, but more often than not, their stories simply leave us speechless.

A country that does not exist, an island where half the year is Spanish and half is French, a hotel room where the bed is in France and the bathroom is in Switzerland, one of the few stateless territories in the world, a railway line in Germany that belongs to Belgium, the only place in the world where it is possible to cross the border thirty times in less than twenty minutes at thirty different locations, a territory that belongs to Norway, but whose natural resources can be exploited by any country, an Italian enclave in the middle of Switzerland, the only private organisation in the world that enjoys the privileges of a country, a semi-independent theocratic state that is off-limits to women and female animals, advice on how to cross into Russia from Finland or Estonia without needing a visa, a hotel room in London declared to be Yugoslav territory for a day so that Alexander II could visit Russia. a city with only one fourteen-storey skyscraper, the longest road in the world, a peninsula in the United States that can only be reached from Canada and a valley in Austria that can only be reached from Germany...

This book takes us on a journey around the world through its geographical anomalies.
