Beschreibung
Amerigo Vespucci's reputation today is intertwined by a long and passionate controversy: is indeed this Florentine navigator and astronomer known solely because he left his name to the New World?
Is AMERICA the aptly named as some historians say, or can it be that Vespucci snatched a better deserved glory to Christopher Columbus?
The purpose of this edition of his complete works (Family Letters, Lettera and Mundus Novus) is to demonstrate that this sterile discussion has clouded the essential fact, that is the historical and literary impact of travel narrations in the early sixteenth century.
Amerigo Vespucci's writings aroused so much interest that it became the biggest bestseller of the history of publishing.
These texts are worth reading because they constitute one of the foundations of the European image about the New World. Vespucci was the first to describe in detail and with a readable style the coast and the jungles of the New World, the idyllic nature of the Land of Parrots, the lakeside towns of Little Venice (to be called Venezuela), the encounters with fearsome giant cannibals and warriors, and also with women both attractive and welcoming, not to mention staying in a village in the rainforest that was certainly the first ethnological experience the American history.
Due to their originality, the works of Vespucci that add the documentary value to their exoticism, can be considered as the first adventure novels of European literature.

Über den Autor
Jean-Paul Duviols, born in Toulouse in 1936, associate of Spanish and Doctor of State, is professor emeritus of the University of Paris IV-Sorbonne, where he occupied the chair of Latin American literature and civilization.
Specializes in the study of the pre-Columbian period, voyages of discovery, colonization and iconographic analysis, Dr Duviols has directed numerous works for Paris Sorbonne university presses, including Le miroir du nouveau monde, published in 2006. The Spanish America seen and dreamed (1986) shows the influence of travel stories on European thought and the image of America. This image, sometimes faithful, sometimes erroneous, often bears the mark of European mentalities. The New World Mirror (2006) complements the previous research, highlighting the diversity of European iconography relating to America and its decisive role in the history of mentalities.
For twenty-five years, Jean-Paul Duviols has been running the first Thursday of every month, the Tribunes des Livres of the Maison de l'Amérique latine2.
He is also known for his pedagogical publications, in particular a Spanish Grammar and the series of textbooks Sol y Sombra (from the 4th to the final) and Cambios (from the second to the final) published by Bordas editions, from 1972 to 1989 In the 1970s and 1980s, these textbooks were very successful. Their originality was based essentially on the importance given to Latin America, its literature, its history and artistic creations, the introduction of press extracts, advertisements and comic drawings added to the documents proposed for comments, and finally on their rich iconography and on a choice of very diversified texts.
At Stockcero he has published Brevísima relación de la Destruyción de las Indias de Bartolomé de Las Casas, a translation with introduction and notes of Accarette du Biscay, Viaje al Río de la Plata y a Potosí , Auguste Guinnard, Tres años de esclavitud entre los Patagones, La colonia francesa de Florida (1562-1565), with notes by Jacques Lemoyne de Morgues, Verdadera Historia y Descripción de un País, by Hans Staden, Usos y Costumbres de los Salvajes de Virginia, with notes by Thomas Hariot and drawings by John White, El Nuevo Mundo. Los viajes de Amerigo Vespucci (1497-1504)., Cristóbal Colón - Viajes a Las Indias (1492 - 1504) and Indios Guaraníes y Jesuitas - Misiones de la Compañía de Jesús en el Paraguay (1610-1767.
