Tinplate 8 — Laputa


Laputa. A nearly circular-shaped island off the coast of Japan. It has a diameter of 7,166 km and a surface area of 4,046 hectares. The island floats or hovers above the much larger island of Balnibarbi, whose inhabitants supply Laputa with food and other necessities using baskets hoisted down from the floating island. Along the sides of Laputa, long open galleries have been built, equipped with ladders that allow people to travel to and from the island. The inhabitants of Laputa dedicate themselves primarily to music, mathematics, and astronomy. The island was discovered in 1711 by the shipwrecked naval surgeon and later sea captain, Lemuel Gulliver.

Laputa. En nästan cirkelformad ö utanför Japans kust. Dess diameter är 7166 km och ytan är 4046 hektar. Den flyter eller svävar över den mycket större ön Balnibarbi, vilkas invånare förser Laputa med livsmedel och andra för- nödenheter med hjälp av korgar som vinschas ner från den svävande ön. Längs Laputas sidor har det byggts långa öppna gallerier försedda med stegar, med vilka man kan ta sig till och från ön. Invånarna på Laputa ägnar sig mest åt musik och att studera matematik och astronomi. Ön upptäcktes 1711 av den skeppsbrutne skeppsläkaren och senare sjö- kaptenen Lemuel Gulliver.
