楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A luminous exploration of exile - the people who have experienced it, and the places they inhabit - from the award-winning travel writer and author of <em>The Immeasurable</em> <em>World</em> and <em>The Moor.</em></strong><br /> 'Breathtakingly good . . . <em>Exiles</em> is completely sui generis.'<br /> <strong>EDMUND DE WAAL</strong><br /> 'Atkins spins a marvellous tapestry of colourful tales, beautifully weaving history and travel accounts.'<br /> <strong>ANDREA WULF</strong>, author of <em>The Invention of Nature</em><br /> 'A volume for our times.'<br /> <strong>SARA WHEELER,</strong> <em><strong>THE SPECTATOR</strong></em><br /> This is the story of three unheralded nineteenth-century dissidents, whose lives were profoundly shaped by the winds of empire, nationalism and autocracy that continue to blow strongly today: Louise Michel, a leader of the radical socialist government known as the Paris Commune; Dinuzulu kaCetshwayo, an enemy of British colonialism in Zululand; and Lev Shternberg, a militant campaigner against Russian tsarism.<br /> In <em>Exiles</em>, William Atkins travels to their islands of banishment - Michel's New Caledonia in the South Pacific, Dinuzulu's St Helena in the South Atlantic, and Shternberg's Sakhalin off the Siberian coast - in a bid to understand how exile shaped them and the people among whom they were exiled. In doing so he illuminates the solidarities that emerged between the exiled subject, on the one hand, and the colonised subject, on the other. Rendering these figures and the places they were forced to occupy in shimmering detail, Atkins reveals deeply human truths about displacement, colonialism and what it means to have and to lose a home.<br /> Occupying the fertile zone where history, biography and travel writing meet, <em>Exiles</em> is a masterpiece of imaginative empathy.<br /> 'A fascinating study of exile and its effects.'<br /> <em><strong>OBSERVER</strong></em><br /> '[Atkins] is humane, humble, and empathetic . . . beautiful and moving.'<br /> <strong>ILYA KAMINSKY</strong>, author of <em>Deaf Republic</em> and <em>Dancing in Odessa</em><br /> 'An incredible, brilliant act of retrieval.'<br /> <strong>PHILIP HOARE</strong>, author of <em>Albert & the Whale</em></p> <p>'Thrilling.' <em><strong>FINANCIAL TIMES</strong></em><br /> 'A finely crafted and lyrical meditation.' <em><strong>TLS</strong></em><br /> 'Gracefully written . . . Brilliant.' <em><strong>THE ECONOMIST</strong></em><br /> 'Rarely has a book been more timely.' <em><strong>HISTORY TODAY</strong></em><br /> ***<br /> Read <em>The Moor</em> and <em>The Immeasureable World</em> for more award-winning writing from William Atkins</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,440円

Voyages du capitaine Robert Lade en differentes parties de l'Afrique, de l'Asie et de l'Am?rique【電子書籍】[ Antoine Fran?ois Pr?vost d'Exiles ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Dans "Voyages du capitaine Robert Lade en diff?rentes parties de l'Afrique, de l'Asie et de l'Am?rique", Antoine Fran?ois Pr?vost d'Exiles d?ploie un r?cit d'aventures fluides, ench?ss?es dans un style narratif riche, alliant descriptions d?taill?es et r?flexions sur les m?urs des peuples rencontr?s. ? la crois?e des genres entre roman et r?cit de voyage, l'ouvrage s'inscrit dans le contexte du XVIIIe si?cle, p?riode marqu?e par l'exploration et la curiosit? pour les autres cultures, se faisant ainsi l'?cho des aspirations ethnographiques et scientifiques de son ?poque. Les p?rip?ties du capitaine Lade ?voquent non seulement les d?fis de l'exploration mais aussi les myst?res d'un monde encore largement inconnu, enrichissant le tableau d'un bigarr? panorama g?ographique et humain. Antoine Fran?ois Pr?vost d'Exiles, ?crivain fran?ais influent, a vu sa carri?re travers?e par les th?mes de la qu?te et du voyage, nourrie par son propre parcours de vie, dont les d?tours l'ont souvent conduit ? explorer des territoires vari?s. Il a ?galement travaill? comme traducteur et ?diteur, ce qui lui a permis de c?toyer un r?pertoire litt?raire vaste. Son penchant pour les r?cits d'aventure et d'ethnologie est ici catalys? par les r?cits maritimes qui capturaient l'imaginaire collectif de son ?poque. Je recommande vivement ce livre aux lecteurs passionn?s par les r?cits de voyage et l'exploration culturelle. L'?uvre de Pr?vost d'Exiles combine brillamment fascination pour l'inconnu et r?flexions sur l'humanit?, offrant une lecture ? la fois divertissante et instructive, qui saura ?veiller la curiosit? et l'?merveillement du lecteur.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 150円
