In the Heart of the Amazon Forest
Autor: Henry Walter Bates
Número de Páginas: 85
One of the most impressive of all Victorian scientists but also a marvellous writer, Bates' (1825-1892) account of his years in the upper reaches of the Amazon is almost too good to be true - a great monument to human inquisitiveness as he battles great hoards of malevolent reptiles and insects in his quest for ever more obscure specimens on ever more narrow and creeper-choked tributaries. Great Journeys allows readers to travel both around the planet and back through the centuries – but also back into ideas and worlds frightening, ruthless and cruel in different ways from our own. Few reading experiences can begin to match that of engaging with writers who saw astounding things: Great civilisations, walls of ice, violent and implacable jungles, deserts and mountains, multitudes of birds and flowers new to science. Reading these books is to see the world afresh, to rediscover a time when many cultures were quite strange to each other, where legends and stories were treated as facts and in which so much was still to be discovered.
Herodoti Historia per Matthiam Palmierum Pisanum e Graeco in Latinum versa
Autor: Ioannis Deligiannis
Número de Páginas: 750
The book contains the editio princeps of Mattia Palmieri’s mid-fifteenth-century Latin translation of Herodotus’ Histories, almost contemporary or even earlier than that by Lorenzo Valla. It also investigates the intellectual and historical milieu in which Palmieri produced it as preparatory work for his historical works and to secure patronage under a church prelate by offering it to Cardinal Prospero Colonna. It includes some information on Palmieri’s life and work and Herodotus’ fortuna, a brief comparison between Palmieri’s and Valla’s translations, Palmieri’s Greek model and Livy’s influence on him in language and style. It finally approaches some methodological issues related to editing a text preserved in authorially revised versions, because the translation shows three different stages of revision. This first approach of Herodotus by Western scholars is significant, because Herodotus was foremost read as a quarry of information of ethnographical, geographical, historical and anthropological nature, in order for the Europeans to understand peoples they encountered on their exploratory voyages and the Ottomans, who were considered as descendants of the...
