Fabrizio Serra editore, 2018, pp. 164 con figure in bianco/nero n.t. NUOVO -- Il volume è strutturato in cinque capitoli. Il primo avvicina il lettore ad una terra morfologicamente complessa, anticipando le difficoltà del viaggiatore a superare strutture vulcaniche (fuoco) e quote considerevoli (neve). La suddivisione nei settori settentrionale, centrale e meridionale aiuta, invece, a separare nella conoscenza e ad integrare nel percorso le differenti geografie, quasi spezzando il viaggio in più tappe. Il secondo capitolo è la descrizione di più viaggi in tempi differenti, grazie allo spoglio puntuale di fonti greche, romane, bizantine, arabe. Il lettore, con ben poco sforzo di immaginazione, vedrà una royal road, sentirà passare great armies, seguirà il movimento di emperors, captains and young lovers. Ancor di più, quasi a volo di uccello, seguirà pilgrims and troops in movement, traccerà percorsi across the volcanoes, cercherà a road which isn't there. Una anticipazione di quanto verrà sviluppato nell'ultimo capitolo risiede nell'uso di termini quali slopes, diagonal e zigzag, termini che descrivono la morfologia del territorio non solo in termini qualitativi ma anche numericamente, grazie all'utilizzo di un Sistema Informativo Geografico; il lettore potrà così tracciare una linea ideale di congiunzione tra il punto A di partenza ed il punto B di arrivo, ma la tridimensionalità del territorio, gestita e visualizzata con lo strumento GIS, guiderà il moderno viaggiatore virtuale su strade reali. Questi i percorsi descritti nei capitoli terzo e quarto, quasi in compagnia di Strabone, Plinio ed Erodoto. Ciò che appare evidente, ed in tutti i capitoli, è che la conoscenza del territorio, o meglio la capacità di visualizzare il landscape, era per gli antichi prerogativa essenziale, con la capacità di 'pesare' (ovvero associare un peso) i singoli aspetti del percorso (quota, pendenza, direzione, stagionalità) e, quindi, di 'scegliere tra' i vari percorsi quello ottimale, non necessariamente quello più breve ma, forse, quello più agevole. Contents: Giuseppe Salemi, Vecchie strade e nuovi percorsi; Guido Rosada, Nella terra del sorgere del sole (Anatolia); Ergün Lafli, Ancient itineraries in central-southern Anatolia; Jacopo Turchetto, Notes on the road, before the journey begins. Per Cappadociae partem iter feci: I. Land of fire and snow. Morphological notes on central and southern Cappadocia: 1. By the K1z1l1rmak: the volcanoes in the northern sector; 2.
