Brossura. Condición: new. A cura di Dickinson S., Douthwaite J. e Villa L. Alessandria, 2024; br., pp. 224, cm 17x24. This book seeks to provide an overview of the role of the railways in the age of imperialism and is based on the general assumption that rail transport was essential for the development of industry, capitalism and colonialism world-wide. It employs a variety of approaches to lay bare the interconnections between economic development and other aspects of society including the ideology underlying thought and action, while focussing on different parts of the world and different representations of trains, railways and railway building. Part I of the volume offers the economist's approach to the "rationale" for colonial railways, the geographer's investigation on how their construction affected colonisation and development in Canada and the cultural historian's analysis of the military deployment of trains in the Sudan and the intense debate it generated in Britain. Part II consists of four literary case studies addressing the role of trains in the spreading of colonial ideology in French adventure literature for boys, Emilio Salgari's take on railways in British India, the building of the Turkestano-Siberian Railroad ("Turksib") and the ambivalent views on Central Asia's modernisation as they emerge in a popular Soviet novel, and the way Joseph Conrad's Nostromo textualises the multiple issues related to railway building, placing the Colonial Train at the core of capitalist exploitation in a fictional Latin American country.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Breaking Ground examines travel writing's contribution to the development of a Russian national culture from roughly 1700 to 1850, as Russia struggled to define itself against Western Europe. Russian examples of literary travel writing began with imitative descriptions of grand tours abroad, but progressive familiarity with the West and with its literary forms gradually enabled writers to find other ways of describing the experiences of Russians en route. Blending foreign and native cultural influences, writers responded to the pressures of the age--to Catherine II, Napoleon, and Nicholas I, for example--both by turning 'inward' to focus on domestic touring and by rewriting their relationship to the West. This book tracks the evolution of literary travel writing in this period of its unprecedented popularity and demonstrates how the expression of national identity, the discovery of a national culture, and conceptions of place--both Russian and Western European-were among its primary achievements. These elements also constitute travel writing's chief legacy to prose fiction, 'breaking ground' for the later masterpieces of writers such as Turgenev, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy. For literary scholars, historians, and other educated readers with interests in Russian culture, travel writing, comparative literature, and national identity.…
