‎VARNUM ROBIN‎

‎�lvar N��ez Cabeza De Vaca: American Trailblazer‎

‎University of Oklahoma Press Norman: 2014. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. In November 1528 almost a century before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock the remnants of a Spanish expedition reached the Gulf Coast of Texas. By July 1536 eight years later �lvar N��ez Cabeza de Vaca c. 1490-1559 and three other survivors had walked 2500 miles from Texas across northern Mexico to Sonora and ultimately to Mexico City. Cabeza de Vaca's account of this astonishing journey is now recognized as one of the great travel stories of all time and a touchstone of New World literature. But his career did not begin and end with his North American ordeal. Robin Varnum's biography the first single-volume cradle-to-grave account of the explorer's life in eighty years tells the rest of the story. During Cabeza de Vaca's peregrinations through the American Southwest he lived among and interacted with various Indian groups. When he and his non-Indian companions finally reconnected with Spaniards in northern Mexico he was horrified to learn that his compatriots were enslaving Indians there. His Relacion 1542 advocated using kindness and fairness rather than force in dealing with the native people of the New World. Cabeza de Vaca went on to serve as governor of Spain's province of Rio de La Plata in South America roughly modern Paraguay. As a loyal subject of the king of Spain he supported the colonialist enterprise and believed in Christianizing the Indians but he always championed the rights of native peoples. In Rio de La Plata he tried to keep his men from robbing the Indians enslaving them or exploiting them sexually�policies that caused grumbling among the troops. When Cabeza de Vaca's men mutinied he was sent back to Spain in chains to stand trial before the Royal Council of the Indies. Drawing on the conquistador's own reports and on other sixteenth-century documents both in English translation and the original Spanish Varnum's lively narrative braids eyewitness testimony of events with historical interpretation benefiting from recent scholarship and archaeological investigation. As one of the few Spaniards of his era to explore the coasts and interiors of two continents Cabeza de Vaca is recognized today above all for his more humane attitude toward and interactions with the Indian peoples of North America Mexico and South America. 12 black and white illustrations 4 maps. Robin Varnum is Associate Professor and Chair of the English Department at American International College in Springfield MA. "�lvar N��ez Cabeza de Vaca is a sixteenth-century phenomenon�equal parts explorer medicine man and empire builder. Robin Varnum has written a masterful and highly readable account of Cabeza de Vaca's adventures in both North and South America."�Andrs Resndez author of A Land So Strange: The Epic Journey of Cabeza de Vaca University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2014 hardcover‎

Das Leinen am Rand etwas nachgedunkelt. "Vatter (1888-1948) war Kustos am Völkerkunde Museum in Frankfurt. "Religiöse Plastik der Naturvölker" ist "ein heute noch auch aus historischen Gründen bedeutendes Werk für die Kunstethnologie. Vatter löst sich in dieser Veröffentlichung von Formfragen und untersuchte stattdessen die Rolle des Künstlers in außereuropäischen Gesellschaften. Er ließ Fragen der Evolutionstheorie hinter sich, wandte sich von der Debatte Abstraktion oder Naturalismus ab und sprach sich dafür aus, dass das künstlerische Schaffen nur aus dem weiteren sozialen und religösen Umfeld der Gemeinschaft zu verstehen sei" (Wikipedia).‎

‎Tulard, 1466. "Ces souvenirs font une large place à la vie quotidienne du soldat. Mayence, la Vendée, l'Italie occupent un peu de place. Bonne relation de l'expédition d'Egypte.""Vaxelaire n'a pas laissé beaucoup de détails concernant les batailles, mais son récit est très intéressant pour la vie journalière du soldat en campagne. Il dépeint comment les hommes ont souffert et ont été torturés par la soif, la faim ou par les diverses maladies. Son récit, quelque peu naïf, est surtout très naturel et agréable par les nombreuses anecdotes qu'il y insère." (De Meulenaere, 194.) - - VENTE PAR CORRESPONDANCE UNIQUEMENT‎
