Detalhes da ObraThe Collector of Worlds de Ilija Trojanow (2006)
   Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Ein spannender Roman über den englischen Abenteurer Richard Burton (1821-1890). Anstatt in den Kolonien die englischen Lebensgewohnheiten fortzuführen, lernt er wie besessen die Sprachen des Landes, vertieft sich in fremde Religionen und reist zum Schrecken der Behörden anonym in den Kolonien herum. Trojanows farbiger Abenteuerroman über diesen Exzentriker zeigt, warum der Westen bis heute nichts von den Geheimnissen der anderen Welt begriffen hat.  Fredo68 | May 14, 2020 |  This novel is based on the life of Sir Richard Burton, the famous explorer whose translation of the 'Arabian Nights' scandalized Victorian society. Troyanov imagines Burton through the eyes of an Indian servant, an Ottoman governor, and a former slave who acted as Burton's guide. gerrit-anne | Oct 11, 2018 | This book with 3 parts started colorful and amazing. I was spellbound. The second part was a very different style but the language kept me going. However, part 3 lost me. The story was going nowhere. (  ) kakadoo202 | Feb 28, 2016 | Gute Atmosphäre und interessante Thematik, Spannung fällt jedoch im zweiten Teil des Buches ab. (  ) freyytag | Feb 26, 2015 | La fascinante vida de Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890), viajero incansable y peculiar traductor de cásicos árabes. ( ) pedrolopez | Apr 6, 2014 |
 "Troyanov succeeds at a different level, recreating that hunger for knowledge, hardship and space that was Burton’s distinctive cast of mind, depicting a man at once hard to like and impossible not to admire." "Now Iliya Troyanov has given us the full fictional version in The Collector of Worlds, a long but consistently satisfying essay in biographical fiction, which is rapidly coming to seem a new genre."
A colourful swashbuckling story based on the life of Sir Richard Burton, the flamboyant explorer of the nineteenth century. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
