SPATE O. H. K.
Storia del Pacifico (secoli XVII-XVIII). Il lago spagnolo
In 8, cm. 15,5 x 21,5, pp. IX + 412 + (8), con 24 figure in bianco e nero a piena pagina nel testo e 8 tavole in bianco e nero e a colori su carta patinata fuori testo. Legatura in tela editoriale verde con titolo e logo editoriale al dorso, sovraccoperta illustrata a colori. Ottimo esemplare. A cura di Gianluigi Mainardi. Volume n. 167 della collana: Biblioteca di Cultura Storica. Primo volume della monumentale storia del Pacifico, con cui Oskar Spate ha voluto ricostruire la storia di quella sconfinata distesa d'acqua che divide le Americhe, l'Oceania e l'Asia. L'autore ripercorre le fasi piu' importanti del XVI secolo, un secolo leggendario: prima di allora nessun eruopeo aveva potuto ammirare una spiaggia dell'Oceano e anche i suoi mari. Il libro prende le mosse da un mondo senza il Pacifico, passa poi all'essenziale contributo di Magellano, primo a solcare le acque del pacifico, sino ad arrivare a Sir Francis Drake sino alle risposte spagnole con Sarmiento e inglesi con Fenton e Cavandish.

Legatura in tela editoriale verde con titolo e logo editoriale al dorso, sovraccoperta illustrata a colori. Ottimo esemplare. Volume n. 173 della collana: Biblioteca di Cultura Storica. Continuazione de Il lago spagnolo, monumentale storia del Pacifico che parte da Magellano, l'autore, in questo secondo libro, focalizza l'attenzione su personaggi e vicende che trasformano quella immensa distesa senza nome in un complesso intreccio di rapporti commerciali e strategici, teatro di aspri conflitti. Il volume si apre con lentrata in scena degli olandesi, pronti ad assumere un ruolo trainante nelle Indie Orientali e a soppiantare i portoghesi. Contemporaneamente si assiste allarrivo dei russi nel Pacifico, alla nascita degli imponenti traffici mercantili con la Cina, alle ripercussioni sulloceano delle guerre europee, al dilagare dei bucanieri, agli assalti britannici allImpero spagnolo in Sud America e nelle Filippine, a nuovi, grandi viaggi di esplorazione fino al sorprendente ritorno di fiamma della Spagna, siglato dallespansione dellImpero in Cile e in California. Insomma una visione dinsieme della storia del Pacifico, inserita nel contesto generale delle vicende economiche e politiche del mondo.

Spate Oskar Hermann Khristian
Storia del Pacifico. Vol. 2: Mercanti e bucanieri
ill., br. Nel suo monumentale "Storia del Pacifico", Oskar Spate ha voluto ricostruire la storia di quella sconfinata distesa d'acqua che divide le Americhe, l'Oceania e l'Asia. Attraverso l'intreccio e il contributo delle fonti dell'epoca, così come della grande storiografia e dell'antropologia moderna, l'autore ci presenta le scoperte dei conquistatori europei, lo stupore verso i paradisi trovati e le loro ignote popolazioni, le mire colonizzatrici e le nuove rotte commerciali. Nel corso della sua epica ricostruzione in tre volumi - "Il lago spagnolo" (XVI-XVII sec.), "Mercanti e bucanieri" (XVII-XVIII sec.), "Un paradiso trovato e perduto" (XVIII-XIX sec.) -, il lettore prende parte alla progressiva scoperta dell'Oceano Pacifico, che fino ad allora era una distesa d'acqua senza nome, da parte di Magellano e degli altri navigatori spagnoli e portoghesi. Solo con l'arrivo degli olandesi, però, si inaugura una nuova stagione di esplorazioni, commerci e conflitti, che vede emergere il ruolo degli imperi asiatici e dei nuovi stati americani. Infine, si approda alla scoperta dell'Oceania, quale ultimo paradiso terrestre, e al definitivo e spietato affermarsi come potenze globali di Inghilterra e Francia, ma anche al ruolo fondamentale giocato da russi, giapponesi e americani. Un complesso affresco della storia del Pacifico, in un dipanarsi di avventure, vittorie e sconfitte, di eroismi e orrori, che non può non suscitare grande interesse e fascino.
