Illustrierte Originalbroschur. Condición: Sehr gut. 2. Auflage. 453 (1) Seiten. 22,3 x 15,2 cm. Sehr guter Zustand. 2 Blatt am Anfang leicht knittrig. Dispels the myths surrounding the journey of Christopher Columbus, with new translations of historical documents that reveal the European motivations for exploration. Aus dem Klappentext: "Sale zeigt uns einen bigotten, engstirnigen, brutalen, hinterhältigen, paranoiden, materialistischen Kolumbus, der die Natur mit den Augen eines Blinden sah und obendrein ein unfähiger Verwalter und höchst zweitklassiger Seefahrer war. Aber er war auch mutig, unerschrocken und weitblickend - kurzum, eine sehr komplizierte Persönlichkeit. Säle hätte sich keinen passenderen Moment aussuchen können, um die Luft aus der Legende zu lassen, doch sein Buch ist mehr als bloße Denkmalstürmerei. Es macht uns deutlich, daß die Naturzerstörung, unter deren Folgen wir heute leiden, mit der Entdeckung der Neuen Welt ihren Anfang nahm. Es ist eine aufregende und erhellende und von Anfang bis Ende faszinierende Lektüre." Newsweek. - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Kirkpatrick Sale (born June 27, 1937) is an American author who has written prolifically about political decentralism, environmentalism, luddism and technology. He has been described as having a "philosophy unified by decentralism" and as being "a leader of the Neo-Luddites," an "anti-globalization leftist," and "the theoretician for a new secessionist movement." Early life and education: Sale grew up in Ithaca, New York, where he later said he "spent most of my first twenty years there, and that has made an imprint on meon my philosophy, social attitudes, certainly on my politicsthat has lasted powerfully for the rest of my life." Sale's brother, Roger Sale, was a literary critic and a professor of English at the University of Washington. He graduated from Cornell University, majoring in English and history, in 1958. He served as associate editor and editor-in-chief of the student-owned and managed newspaper, The Cornell Daily Sun. Sale was one of the leaders of the May 23, 1958, protest against university policies forbidding male and female students fraternizing and its in loco parentis policy. Sale and his friend and roommate Richard Fariña, and three others, were charged by Cornell. The protest was described in Fariña's 1966 novel, Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me. In 1958 he collaborated with Thomas Pynchon on an unproduced futuristic musical called Minstrel Island. Career: Sale worked initially in journalism for the leftist journal New Leader, "a magazine founded in 1924 in part by socialists Norman Thomas and Eugene Debs," and The New York Times Magazine, before becoming a freelance journalist. He spent time in Ghana and wrote his first book about it. His second book, SDS, was about the radical 1960s group Students for a Democratic Society. The book "is still considered one of the best sources on the youth activist organization that helped define 1960s radicalism." In 1968, he signed the "Writers and Editors War Tax Protest" pledge, vowing to refuse tax payments in protest against the Vietnam War. Subsequent books explored radical decentralism, bioregionalism, environmentalism, the Luddites and similar themes. He "has been a regular contributor to progressive magazines like Mother Jones and The Nation for the better part of his writing career". Sale donated 16 boxes of materialstypescripts, galley proofs, correspondence, etc.for each one of his books to the archives at Cornell University, where they are available for public inspection. In 2020, Sale moved to another village outside Ithaca. Views History: In his 1990 book, The Conquest of Paradise: Christopher Columbus and the Columbian Legacy, Sale argued that Christopher Columbus was an imperialist bent on conquest from his first voyage. In a New York Times book review, historian and member of the Christopher Columbus Quincentenary Jubilee Committee William Hardy McNeill wrote about Sale: "he has set out to destroy the heroic image tha.
