Small quarto in color illus dark green DJ; 288 p. : col. ill., map ; 25 cm. Published to accompany the BBC television series. "Following in the footsteps of the Spanish adventurers, filmmaker Wood retraces the path of the conquistadors from Amazonia to Lake Titicaca, and from the deserts of North Mexico to the heights of Machu Picchu. As he travels the same routes as Hernan CortÈs, and Francisco and Gonzalo Pizarro, Wood describes the events that accompanied the epic sixteenth-century Spanish conquest of the Aztec and Inca empires. He also follows parts of Orellana's extraordinary voyage down the Amazon and of Cabeza de Vaca's arduous journey across America to the Pacific. Wood reconstructs both sides of the conquest, drawing from eyewitness accounts, letters, and Aztec texts recorded after the fall of Mexico. He also relates the present-day customs, rituals, and oral traditions of the people he meets. Wood grapples with the moral legacy of the European invasion and with the implications of an event that swept away civilizations, religions, and ways of life." --From publisher description. || Contents: Prologue: "The Lord of the Snow Star" -- Cortes and Montezuma -- The war of the worlds -- The conquest of the Incas -- The great war of the Incas -- El Dorado : the journey of Francisco Orellana -- The adventure of Cabeza de Vaca -- Epilogue: "All the world is human." || Veroveringen.

8vo. Xiii, 222 pages. Illustrated. First edition. SUBJECT (S) : Judaism; Jews, Ethiopian; Ethiopic literature translations into English. SERIES: Yale Judaica series; v. 6. Born in Krzepice, Poland, Leslau [1906-2006] was educated at the University of Vienna and at the Sorbonne in Paris... In 1942 he immigrated to the United States. He taught at several institutions before joining the faculty of the University of California in Los Angeles in 1955, where he continued teaching Hebrew and Semitic languages... He undertook eight trips to Ethiopia to do fieldwork on the various Semitic languages of Ethiopia and on the culture and folklore of the country, giving special attention to Beta Israel. Leslau [was] regarded as one of the foremost experts on Semitic languages, in particular the ones spoken in Ethiopia. When he retired from teaching, he was named UCLA professor emeritus of Hebrew and Semitic linguistics. He published more than 40 books that deal with descriptive and comparative problems of Ethiopic as well as Semitic linguistics. (EJ, 2007) Ex library, otherwise good+ condition. (SEF-12-1)
