Beschreibung

In "Portugal of the Portuguese," Aubrey F. G. Bell presents a meticulous exploration of Portugal's cultural, historical, and social landscape during a pivotal period. Richly illustrated and infused with Bell's keen observational skills, this work not only delves into the nation's geographical allure but also examines the psyche of its people, standing as a seminal piece within the travel literature of the early 20th century. The author combines vivid prose and an analytical approach, making the narrative both engaging and intellectually stimulating, thus carving out a unique space in the genre dominated by romanticized depictions of foreign lands. Aubrey F. G. Bell, an esteemed scholar and writer, possessed a deep affinity for the Iberian Peninsula, having devoted years to studying its language and history. Born in England, Bell's fascination with Portuguese culture stemmed from his academic pursuits, which led him through various Portuguese-speaking regions. His erudition and firsthand experiences positioned him to provide a nuanced perspective, capturing the essence of Portuguese identity at a time when the nation was experiencing profound changes. Readers with an avid interest in cultural studies, history, and travel narratives will find "Portugal of the Portuguese" indispensable. Bell's multifaceted insights into the country's essence not only enrich the reader's understanding but also foster a deeper appreciation for Portugal's enduring legacy and vibrant present.

    INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 
    From the bestselling author of The Taking of Jemima Boone, the unbelievable true story of a real-life Swiss Family Robinson (and their dog) who faced sharks, shipwreck, and betrayal. 
    On December 10, 1887, a shark fishing boat disappeared. On board the doomed vessel were the Walkers—the ship’s captain Frederick, his wife Elizabeth, their three teenage sons, and their dog—along with the ship’s crew. The family had spotted a promising fishing location when a terrible storm arose, splitting their vessel in two and leaving those onboard adrift on the perilous sea. 
    When the castaways awoke the next morning, they discovered they had been washed ashore—on an island inhabited by a large but ragged and emaciated man who introduced himself as Hans. Hans appeared to have been there for a while and could quickly educate the Walkers and their crew on the island’s resources. But Hans had a secret . . . and as the Walker family gradually came to learn more, what seemed like a stroke of luck to have the mysterious man’s assistance became something ominous, something darker. 
    Like David Grann and Stacy Schiff, Matthew Pearl unveils one of the most incredible yet little-known historical true stories, and the only known instance in history of an actual family of castaways. Save Our Souls asks us to consider who we might become if we found ourselves trapped on a deserted island.
