Südamerika

Das Tagebuch erzählt von meiner 3500 Kilometer langen Radreise durch Argentinien und Chile. Start der Tour war Malargüe, eine Kleinstadt im Süden der Provinz Mendoza. Die Route führte stets an den Anden entlang bis nach Ushuaia, die zu dieser Zeit offiziell südlichste Stadt der Welt - in Feuerland.Aufgrund der geringen Bevölkerungsdichte in Argentinien, speziell in Patagonien, sind die Distanzen zwischen den Dörfern oder Städten sehr groß - man hat also viel Zeit zum Nachdenken.

"As long as land is in sight, our eyes linger on the blue line of mountains, which speaks to us of the country which, in spite of the revolving screw, our hearts refuse to leave." "But let us say at once that in these countries where the blood is hot misconduct is rare. Men marry young, and the demands of a civilisation as yet untouched by decadence leaves little energy for pleasure that must be sought elsewhere than on the strait path. I will not say but what the great attraction of Paris for many South Americans is precisely the pleasure of the novelty it offers in this respect. It is sufficient for me to set down what came under my notice: happy homes and regular habits; a tranquil enjoyment of a life of virtue. The living-rooms are always grouped around a patio with its colonnade bright with trees and flowers, and here their occupants enjoy the utmost privacy with an absence of street noises." "A perfectly healthy city. No expense has been spared to satisfy the demands of a good system of municipal sanitation. Avenues planted with trees, gardens and parks laid out to ensure adequate reserves of fresh air, are available to all, and lawns exist for youthful sports. The zoölogical and botanical gardens are models of their kind. A fine racecourse, surrounded by the green belt of foliage of the Argentine Bois de Boulogne, is known as Palermo." "We are pleased to judge them more or less lightly. Let us not forget that we in our turn are judged by them. And while we waste our time quarrelling about individuals and names, they are directing a steady effort toward taking from each country of Europe what it has of the best, in order to build up over yonder on a solid base a new community which will some day be so much the more formidable that its own economic force will perhaps have as a counterbalance the complications of a European situation that is not tending toward solution."

George Chaworth Musters (1841-1879) war ein Fregattenkapitän der britischen Royal Navy und Reisender, bekannt als "König von Patagonien". Musters trat in den Dienst der Royal Navy, diente als Offizier auf verschiedenen Schiffen, wurde 1861 zum Leutnant befördert und auf die Schaluppe HMS Stromboli versetzt, auf der er fünf Jahre an der Küste Südamerikas diente. Nach Ausmusterung der Stromboli nahm er 1869 den halben Sold und nutzte die Gelegenheit, die Region zu erkunden. Etwa ein Jahr lang reiste er zusammen mit einem Stamm der Tehuelches durch Patagonien. Seine Erkundungen waren Gegenstand seines Buches At home with the Patagonians: a year's wanderings over untrodden ground from the Straits of Magellan to the Rio Negro und führten dazu, dass er 1872 von der Royal Geographical Society mit einer goldenen Uhr ausgezeichnet wurde. Im vorliegenden Band beschreibt George Ch. Musters seine einjährige Wanderung durch die patagonische Steppe vom Rio Santa Cruz bis zum Rio Negro zusammen mit Angehörigen eines Stammes der Tehuelches. Diese gemeinsame Reise diente vor allem dazu, die ökonomischen Möglichkeiten Patagoniens zu erschließen, weshalb das Buch reich ist an botanischen und geologischen Beobachtungen. Das Werk ist zugleich ein "ethnographisches Monument", da es aus erster Hand Einblicke in den Alltag und die Lebensweisen, Gewohnheiten, Rituale und Hierarchien der Tehuelches Stämme, die von Musters als sanftmütig und intelligent eingeschätzt werden, gewährt.Sorgfältig bearbeiteter Nachdruck der in Frakturschrift verfaßten Originalausgabe von 1877, übersetzt von Johann Ernst August Martin (1822-1892) und illustriert von Johann Baptiste Zwecker (1814-1876).

A quiet revolution in a dusty shelf. Across Unknown South America Vol- Ii offers a doorway to a vanished world, where map-makers wrestled with rivers and wind, and every encounter felt like a crossroads between curiosity and consequence.This voyage by Arnold Henry Savage Landor is more than a travelogue collection; it is a lucid, adventurous exploration memoir that threads geography and ethnography with first-hand encounters along south american expeditions. Read as a travel narrative classic, it invites adventure readers to walk with a Victorian-era explorer through jungles, high plains, and colonial frontiers, appreciating both the awe and the humility of distant landscapes and peoples.Historically, the work anchors British exploration authors in a period when discovery and description were paired with reflection on culture, language, and landscape. Its warmth, particularity, and honesty illuminate the era's ambitions and blind spots alike, making it essential for both casual readers and classic-literature collectors.Now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. Not a mere reprint, it's a complete travelogue collection that recognises the significance of indigenous encounters and the enduring human urge to chart the unknown. A cultural treasure that enriches any shelf of 19th century travelogues and keeps the spirit of south american exploration alive for new readers.

Backed by Brazil's wealthy agribusiness groups, a growing evangelical movement, and an emboldened military and police force, Jair Bolsonaro took office in 2019. Driven by the former army captain's brand of controversial, aggressive rhetoric, the divisive presidential campaign saw fake news and misinformation shared with Bolsonaro's tens of millions of social media followers. Bolsonaro promised simple solutions to Brazil's rising violent crime, falling living standards and widespread corruption, but what has emerged is Latin America's most right-wing president since the military dictatorships of the 1970s. Famous for his racist, homophobic and sexist beliefs and his disregard for human rights, the so-called 'Trump of the Tropics' has established a reputation based on his polemical, sensationalist statements. Written by a journalist with decades of experience in the field, Beef, Bible and bullets is a compelling account of the origins of Brazil's unique brand of right-wing populism. Lapper offers the first major assessment of the Bolsonaro government and the growing tensions between extremist and moderate conservatives.
