Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an epic poem following Spanish explorers venturing into the Amazon in the 1500s. It places the author, a Victorian Scottish poet, within the genre of exploration literature popularised by the likes of Coleridge and Tennyson. This epic combines historical accuracy and vivid descriptions of the natural world with themes including the Spanish religious mission in the Americas, the effects of colonialism, the search for glory, and the nature of human ambition. The central figure, Gonzalo Pizarro, sends his comrade Orellana to explore the river that will bear his name, hoping to secure the bounty of a rich and unexplored world. Orellana's journey encapsulates the human struggle to tame the natural world, and for glory and wealth, contrasting the religious mission of Spanish priests with the dreams of conquest swirling in the minds of their countrymen. This is a story of the deeds and dreams of men on the frontiers of human experience, revealing the complex relationship between the desire for conquest and the evils it can unleash. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330520239_0
