Just before the year 1000 a young Viking named Thorvald the Far-farer turned his back on the pagan gods of his fathers to preach the Christian gospel.But his Icelandic countrymen mocked him as a homosexual stoned him and finally outlawed him. Abandoning his homelandThorvald embarked on an epic journey to the golden heart of all medieval world maps - Jerusalem.A thousand years laterin the year 2000Victoria Clark embarked on the same journey to discover to what extent thedramatic changes and conflicts sweeping western Europe a thousand years ago still resonate today.'The Far-Farers' isboth the story of this 21stC journey and a history of extraordinary 11thC western Christendom. In this remarkable book she gathers a group of influential11thC characters. Viking Thorvaldemperors of East and West Christendomabbotssaintsprincessesa robber Norman andCrusaders are personally or professionally connected to oneanother to form links in a historical chain extending down the century and all the way from Iceland to the Holy Land.Western Europe was struggling to unite in the 11th centuryexpanding rapidly and changing utterly.Warfarepeacekeepingmultinational monasticisminstitutional power strugglesmass pilgrim traveland rising religious fundamentalismwere a few of its salient characteristics.Inshortit was a world more like our own than we might imagine.The twenty-first-century people she encounters as she travels through Icelandcentral and western Europethe BalkansTurkey and the Middle East cast fresh light on bothworlds.A Swedish violinist she meets on a Turkish train reclaims the religion of his pagan Viking ancestors.In the ancient capital of Polanda young Catholic priest scorns the idea of Europe uniting in the name of human rights instead of Christ.A Greek Jewess in Thessaloniki makes her peace with a thousand years of her people's persecution.At the Crusader stronghold of Krac des Chevaliers a Syrian playboy highlights the deep and widening gulf between the West and Islam.A richly evocative and beautifully written work'The Far-Farers' is neither conventional history nor travelbut a powerful and authoritative demonstration of our enduring connection with the distant past.

Voyage en Russie, en Tartarie et en Turquie
- Chez Fantin, A Paris 1812, In-8 (13x21cm), xviij, 559pp. (1) et (4) 500pp., 2 volumes reliés. - Edition originale, rare, illustrée de 3 cartes et 2 plans, dont la carte générale de la Crimée et le plan de la capitale des Cosaques du Don. Rare première édition française, de la traduction d'Emmanuel de Laubespin, qui fut retirée de la vente. Quérard: "Le gouvernement [français] ne permit pas la mise en vente de cette traduction ; il n'y en eut que quelques exemplaires de répandus". Reliure en plein veau brun d'époque. Dos lisse orné de 4 fers quadrilobés et de multiples roulettes. Pièces de titre et de tomaisson en maroquin rouge. Frise d'encadrement sur le splat doublé d'un filet doré. Roulette intérieure. Epidermures sur les dos et plats. Pièce de tomaion du tome 2 gratté avec perte de cuir. 3 coins émoussés. Quelques rares et pâles rousseurs. Malgré des défauts, bel exemplaire dans l'ensemble. Minéralogiste et archéologue anglais professant à l'université de Cambridge où il devint bibliothécaire. Clarke fut un infatigable voyageur tout au long de sa vie, d'abord en Italie, en Scandinavie, en Grèce, en Russie, en Turquie, en Egypte et en Terre Sainte ; voyages qui lui permirent de collecter nombre de minéraux et d'effectuer des observations précises de géographie physique et humaine. Outre ses observations critiques, et notamment sur le tsar Paul, qui lui valurent une interdiction du gouvernement français, le voyage de Clarke (1799-1802) est particulièrement intéressant puisqu'il voyage au-delà des limites européennes de la Russie et s'occupe des Cosaques du Don dont il décrit la vie, l'organisation et les coutumes. Il descend ensuite jusqu'à la mer d'Azov, voyage en Crimée, à Odessa, et jusqu'à Constantinople. La qualité principale de l'auteur est son don d'observation et son intérêt multiple, tant pour les insectes, les serpents venimeux que les coutumes des Russes et des Cosaques ou le commerce sur la mer Noire.
