Dass es immer noch Orte gibt, die schwer zu erreichen sind, erscheint uns heute nicht mehr vorstellbar. Judith Schalansky aber hat sie gesammelt: fünfzig entlegene Inseln, die in jeder Hinsicht weit entfernt sind, entfernt vom Festland, von Menschen, von Flughäfen und Reisekatalogen.
Aus historischen Begebenheiten und naturwissenschaftlichen Berichten spinnt Judith Schalansky zu jeder Insel eine Prosaminiatur, absurd-abgründige Geschichten, wie sie nur die Wirklichkeit sich auszudenken vermag, wenn sie mit wenigen Quadratkilometern im Nirgendwo auskommen muss. Sie handeln von seltenen Tieren und seltsamen Menschen: von gestrandeten Sklaven und einsamen Naturforschern, verirrten Entdeckern und verwirrten Leuchtturmwärtern, meuternden Matrosen und vergessenen Schiffbrüchigen, braven Sträflingen und strafversetzten Beamten, kurzum: von freiwilligen und unfreiwilligen Robinsons.
