Cedar Paul Libri

    Cedar Paul fu una figura versatile nota per il suo lavoro di cantante, autrice, traduttrice e giornalista. I suoi contributi letterari comprendevano principalmente traduzioni e pezzi giornalistici, plasmati da un ricco background familiare nella musica. Dopo la morte del marito, Eden Paul, continuò a pubblicare traduzioni a suo nome. Sebbene il suo lavoro fosse riconosciuto, nel tempo è svanito dalla memoria pubblica più ampia.

      The Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan (1480–1521) is one of the most famous navigators in history – he was the first man to sail from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, and led the first voyage to circumnavigate the globe, although he was killed en route in a battle in the Philippines. In this biography, Zweig brings to life the Age of Discovery by telling the tale of one of the era’s most daring adventurers. In typically flowing and elegant prose he takes us on a fascinating journey of discovery ourselves.

      Zweig explores the nature of desire in showing us two lives led in the single-minded pursuit of art and literature, of existential truth against the background of a disintegrating and corrupt Europe. The tragic irony of these two contrasted destinies forces us to confront our own understanding of the purpose of life and art.
