Описание: The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available early accounts of exploration. This volume (1869) contains an English translation of Books 5-9 of the Royal Commentaries of the Yncas, by Garcilaso de la Vega (1539-1616), the son of a Spanish soldier and an Inca princess.
One writer, Mary Shelley, inaugurated two of the three paradigms through which human beings imagine, with panic or pleasure, the end of their species. Complementing her visions of a world-encompassing natural plague (The Last Man, 1826) and man-made technological self-eradication (Frankenstein, 1818), the third - and oldest - paradigm of how to depict humankind's demise is the religious notion of Apocalypse, God's Day of Reckoning. Through in-depth philosophical and theological contextualization of the German, French and British literary settings of the apocalyptic tradition around 1800, Sublime Conclusions chronicles the transition from theism and deism to atheism and the 'Death of God' on which, Weninger contends, Shelley's novels - and hence modern science fiction in general - are premised. A tour de force of comparative methodology, Weninger's transdisciplinary approach is as wide-ranging as it is meticulous, interweaving the manifold discourses of catastrophe in literary history, art and film history, philosophy and theology, as well as the history of science and science fiction, across more than two centuries of European intellectual history from Voltaire's mid-eighteenth-century response to the earthquake of Lisbon to G nther Anders's presaging, in the wake of Hiroshima, humankind's extinction through nuclear Armageddon.
Robert Weninger is Emeritus Professor of German and Comparative Literature at King's College London.
