Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I cicli completi della jungla e dei pirati della Malesia • Le Tigri di Mompracem • I misteri della jungla nera • I pirati della Malesia • Le due Tigri • Il Re del Mare • Alla conquista di un impero • Sandokan alla riscossa • La riconquista di Mompracem • Il Bramino dell’Assam • La caduta di un impero • La rivincita di Yanez A cura di Sergio Campailla Edizioni integrali Alla fine dell’Ottocento il giovane Salgari, innamorato del mare e dei suoi misteri, varca le frontiere della geografia e del classicismo e scopre una sorta di Neverland, un territorio colorato ed esotico, immenso e affascinante. È un’esplosione liberatrice di vitalità, nel segno del gioco e della trasgressione, per sé e per i suoi lettori. Nasce la leggenda corsara di Sandokan, l’eroe quasi immortale, e dei suoi formidabili tigrotti. Le isole di Mompracem e di Labuan, la giungla nera e il delta acquitrinoso del Gange, l’universo notturno dei sotterranei entrano nell’immaginario collettivo, con le risorse di un linguaggio tecnico di indubbia suggestione e un ritmo narrativo che valorizza i colpi di scena. Una fortuna popolare che continua sino a oggi, in una società così diversa da quella di allora, nella letteratura, nel cinema, nell’espressione artistica e musicale. Le Tigri di Mompracem, I misteri della jungla nera, I pirati della Malesia, Sandokan alla riscossa, La rivincita di Yanez: sono alcuni dei titoli divenuti ormai a tutti familiari. Con il ciclo di Sandokan, che accompagna l’evoluzione creativa dello scrittore, qui per la prima volta pubblicato nella sua interezza in un volume unico, il regno dell’infanzia non è più un intervallo iniziale da superare, ma un tempo perenne dell’avventura e dello spirito. Emilio Salgari (Verona 1862 – Torino 1911) compì l’apprendistato letterario collaborando a diversi giornali, come «La Nuova Arena», presso cui pubblicò anche i suoi primi racconti. Raggiunse un vastissimo successo di pubblico con una lunga serie di romanzi d’avventura ambientati in paesaggi esotici e centrati su eroi come Sandokan e il Corsaro Nero. Ma gli ultimi anni della sua vita furono tragici: le precarie condizioni economiche, la cattiva salute, la perdita progressiva dell’ispirazione narrativa e infine il ricovero della moglie in manicomio ridussero lo scrittore alla disperazione, fino al gesto drammatico con cui pose termine ai suoi giorni. Di Salgari la Newton Compton ha pubblicato, oltre a Tutte le avventure di Sandokan nella collana I Mammut, Le Tigri di Mompracem e Il Corsaro Nero anche in volume singoli.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synopsis: It was conceived as an amazing journey through time and space to a land where it was possible to find fights, huge, tigers or diamonds the size of a walnut. Sandokan is the owner and lord of the island of Mompracem. Driven by revenge against the English who took away his family and kingdom, he set out to travel the coasts of Malaysia with his men, cruelly exercising piracy against the British enemy. For this reason, it is known by the nickname of El Tigre de Malaysia. One night when the island is shaken by a strong hurricane, Sandokan receives a visit from Yánez, his most loyal and faithful friend, who informs him about Lady Mariana, niece of the governor of the English colony of Labuán, a young lady who, due to her extraordinary beauty is known as La Perla de Labuán. Impressed by his friend's comments, Sandokan will undertake an expedition commanded by two praos bound for Labuán, in order to meet such a beautiful woman, but upon reaching the outskirts of the island, the ships are intercepted by a British cruiser that manages to sink them and kill almost the entire crew. Sandokan, the only survivor of the attack, will manage to reach the mainland, bruised and wounded. About the Author: Italian writer, Emilio Salgari was born in Verona, Italy, on August 21, 1862, and died in Turin, Italy, on April 25, 1911. The son of a merchant family, as a young man he served aboard a ship that toured the Adriatic and Mediterranean coast, but there is no evidence that he made more voyages by sea, although he claimed that the exotic places that appeared in his books were based on sites that he had personally visited. Salgari began to prepare at the Royal Naval Technical Institute P. Sarpi in Venice, but did not get to obtain the title of captain that he longed for. His action-packed novels were many, but he is probably best known for creating the character of Sandokan. Despite his success, Salgari was one of the best-selling authors of his generation, he lived in relative misery that, together with the mental imbalance of his wife, the theater actress Ida Peruzzi, with whom he had four children, led him to commit suicide in 1911 by performing the traditional rite of Hara-kiri. Salgari wrote a total of eighty-four novels and countless stories, highlighting titles such as The Tigers of Mompracen or The Pirates of Malaysia. Several of his books have been made into a movie and his main character, Sandokan, has starred in a television series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cura di Sergio Campailla Edizione integrale Sandokan, la Tigre della Malesia, l’eroe salgariano per eccellenza, ritorna in questo romanzo nel ruolo di vendicatore degli oppressi, più invincibile e invulnerabile che mai. Con il fido Yanez, la Tigre della Malesia decide di muoversi per liberare il prode Tremal-Naik, bengalese che ama Ada ed è prigioniero di Lord James Brooke, il despota inglese nemico mortale dei pirati malesi. La lotta fra Sandokan e il «rajah bianco» di Sarawak costituisce il leitmotiv di un avvincente romanzo in cui Salgari raggiunge il massimo equilibrio fra la trama avventurosa, le vicende sentimentali e le azioni guerresche. «Alta era la sua fronte, scintillante lo sguardo, sottili le labbra, atteggiate ad un sorriso indefinibile, magnifica la barba che dava ai suoi lineamenti un certo che di fiero che incuteva ad un tempo rispetto e paura. Nell’insieme, s’indovinava che quell’uomo possedeva la ferocia di una tigre, l’agilità di un quadrumane e la forza di un gigante.» Emilio Salgari (Verona 1862 – Torino 1911) compì l’apprendistato letterario collaborando a diversi giornali, come «La Nuova Arena», presso cui pubblicò anche i suoi primi racconti. Raggiunse un vastissimo successo di pubblico con una lunga serie di romanzi d’avventura ambientati in paesaggi esotici e centrati su eroi come Sandokan e il Corsaro Nero. Ma gli ultimi anni della sua vita furono tragici: le precarie condizioni economiche, la cattiva salute, la perdita progressiva dell’ispirazione narrativa e infine il ricovero della moglie in manicomio ridussero lo scrittore alla disperazione, fino al gesto drammatico con cui pose termine ai suoi giorni. Di Salgari la Newton Compton ha pubblicato Le Tigri di Mompracem, Il Corsaro Nero e Sandokan. I pirati della Malesia, e nella collana “I Mammut” Tutte le avventure di Sandokan.

Download or read book Ptolemy s Geography written by Ptolemy and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ptolemy's Geography is the only book on cartography to have survived from the classical period and one of the most influential scientific works of all time. Written in the second century AD, for more than fifteen centuries it was the most detailed topography of Europe and Asia available and the best reference on how to gather data and draw maps. Ptolemy championed the use of astronomical observation and applied mathematics in determining geographical locations. But more importantly, he introduced the practice of writing down coordinates of latitude and longitude for every feature drawn on a world map, so that someone else possessing only the text of the Geography could reproduce Ptolemy's map at any time, in whole or in part, at any scale. Here Berggren and Jones render an exemplary translation of the Geography and provide a thorough introduction, which treats the historical and technical background of Ptolemy's work, the contents of the Geography, and the later history of the work.
