Abstract:

The author traces the life and work of a great dignitary of the Kingdom of Sahé named Assou. Thanks to the stories left by some European travelers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, he describes a handsome tall man, with a positive spirit. Generous and loyal, he is very attentive to the care of his family. On behalf of the royal power, he deals with external relations and is in intimacy of the monarch. A very influential minister, he is entitled to public honors and is adulated by French merchants. On the death of King Ayisan on October 8, 1708, it was he who forced the enthronement

Alberti, and others), and, finally, a desire to establish contact with the Soviet Writers’ Union, the Venezuelan writer Miguel Otero Silva (1908—1985) remained unknown in this country for a long time.

Abstract:

The path motif is one of the major dominants in the works of prominent 20thcentury poetsof Finland, both Finnish and Swedishnative speakers. Understanding life as a road is what Eino Leino shares in common with Uuno Kailas, Paavo Haavikko, Risto Ahti, Heli Laaksonen, Edith Södergran, and Ralf Nordgren. Their position coincides with the creative concepts of Alexander Blok and the ideas of pilgrimage in European literature and in Kalevalian poetry. 20th-century Finnish poetry falls into all- European line. But in Finnish poetry, the path motif has existed since the epic songs: Lemminkäinen’s esc

Abstract:

Study of itineraries, i.e. a critical analysis of places and dates of stay, travel routes, and movement conditions of various persons, has long been a noticeable trend in world medieval studies, but is still underdeveloped in Russian medieval studies. At the same time, this approach not only supplements knowledge about the biography of a particular person, but also provides an opportunity for an in-depth study of related problems: the mobility of travelers, transport forms, logistics capabilities, etc. at different stages of country development.

This allowed me to reconstruct Marcin Broniowski’s biography and the chronology of his visits to Crimea. I also analyse the main early modern editions and translations of Tartariae descriptio, as well as its influence on the history of European geographical thought.

Abstract This essay is a postcolonial reading of the recently republished auto/biography A Lion Called Christian (2009; originally published in 1971), written by two Australians, Anthony Bourke and John Rendall. The book narrates the unlikely story of raising a lion in Chelsea and discusses his eventual repatriation and new life in East Africa. The essay argues that the representation of the animal in the metropolitan and African spaces as portrayed in the book can be read critically in the context of the cultural legacy of British colonialism and the role of exotic animals in particular.

Abstract:

George G. Simpson (1902-1984) had an enormously successful career for some fifty years during the middle of the twentieth century. Owing to his great intellect, especially his deep analytic skill and broad synthetic insight as well as his single-minded persistence, he produced a large body of published work that became an integral part of modern evolutionary theory. His high level of scientific achievement can be gauged by the number and quality of his publications, his institutional affiliations, his honors and awards, and the recognition he received in mainstream popular culture.1 Because Si

Abstract:

In recent years, the figure of the Italian filmmaker Rino Lupo (1884–1936) has taken on alternative developments that not only keep attention on his cinematographic work, but also expand to the birth of a new poetic centred on his numerous travels. The essence of Rino Lupo’s transnational and pro-European cinema is linked to an idea of the ‘search for beauty’ through ‘the discovery of the new’. In Poland, Rino Lupo worked on some of the most important concepts that were developed in the following years in Portugal and Spain. In particular, in this article I explore his period in Russia and Pol

This article aims to deepen and extend theoretical understanding of mobility by exploring some of the mechanisms by which it operates.

In so doing, Bunin used Moscow to map the cultural memory of the Russian emigration, with the ancient city of Moscow standing as its “memory palace” while contributing to the “Moscow text.“ In his 1944 story “Cleansing Monday,” in particular, Bunin conducted this mnemonic project on three levels: historical, spiritual, and didactic.
