South

How has the idea of the South come to exert such a powerful hold over our imagination? From the beaches of Southern Europe to the Great White South of the Antarctic; from South America to the South Pacific, South explores this most diverse and captivating of regions. The South has long since cast its spell on writers and artists, from Goethe and Poe, to Gauguin, Lawrence and Kerouac; while landscapes of ice and snow, sand and sea, have lured explorers southwards for centuries, often with fatal consequences. This book will follow in the footsteps of Cook, Scott, John Muir and others as they recount their journeys.

Cum a ajuns ideea de Sud sa exercite o atitudine atat de puternica asupra imaginatiei noastre? De la plajele din sudul Europei pana in Marele Sud Alb al Antarcticii; din America de Sud pana in Pacificul de Sud, Sudul exploreaza regiunile cele mai diverse si captivante.
