Condition: COME NUOVO. A cura di Federico Motta. 17 settembre 1817: Rose de Freycinet, una dama della buona società francese, ha l'ardire di tagliarsi i capelli e di travestirsi da uomo per imbarcarsi come clandestina a bordo della corvetta militare Uranie, al seguito del marito Louis, comandante della prima spedizione scientifica nel periodo della Restaurazione.?Rose è consapevole delle incognite di tale impresa, ma la decisione è presa e non rinuncerebbe mai alla straordinaria esperienza di un simile viaggio.?Attraverso il diario all'amica Caroline e le lettere alla madre, Rose racconta tutto ciò che le accade nei tre anni che la porteranno a visitare i luoghi più remoti della terra: il Brasile, Città del Capo, le isole di Timor e di Guam; Capo Horn, le isole Malvine - dove la nave farà naufragio - e l'Australia. Quello dell'Uranie fu uno degli ultimi viaggi di ricerca scientifica e fruttò una raccolta immensa di dati e campioni.?Al ritorno Rose è cambiata, ma non è affatto pentita della sua scelta, che possiamo definire rivoluzionaria per una donna della sua epoca.?La seconda parte del libro offre un'interessante analisi storica sul viaggio dell'Uranie, nonché un ritratto a tutto tondo del personaggio Rose. cm.15x21, pp.416, illustrazioni in bianco e nero.

Condition: Sehr gut. 351 S. mit 71 Abbildungen und Karten; 21 cm; Sehr guter Zustand. // Nach der Schlacht bei Waterloo lag Frankreichs Nationalstolz darnieder, nur noch auf wenigen Gebieten war es möglich, Reputation und alte Größe wiederzuerlangen. Eines davon war die Wissenschaft, und nur sie allein konnte auf den Weltmeeren mit der Duldung der Engländer rechnen. Gerade zum richtigen Zeitpunkt kam also der Vorschlag des Fregattenkapitäns Louis de Freycinet zur Ausführung einer wissenschaftlichen Expedition rund um die Welt. 1814 hatte er die 15 Jahre jüngere Rose Marie Pinon geheiratet, und als die Forschungsreise genehmigt wurde, war das Paar nicht gewillt, die mehrjährige Trennung hinzunehmen: Rose de Freycinet begab sich am Abend vor der Abfahrt als Mann verkleidet an Bord der "Uranie". Zu Beginn ihrer Weltumsegelung war Rose de Freycinet 22 Jahre alt. Nicht ohne Klage erträgt sie während der folgenden drei Jahre Piraten und Eisberge, Stürme und Erdbeben, Bälle und Menues, entflohene Sträflinge und Feuer an Bord -- und schließlich den Schiffbruch, der die Besatzung zwei Monate lang auf den kargen Falkland-Inseln festhält. Doch ihr Leid äußert sie niemals laut -- denn das hatte sie sich zu Beginn der Fahrt geschworen --, sondern nur in ihrem Journal, Briefen, in denen sie ihrer Freundin Caroline de Nanteuil vom Fortgang der Fahrt berichtete. Rose de Freycinet ist nicht die erste Frau, die die Welt umrundete, aber sie ist die erste, von der ein schriftliches Zeugnis einer solchen Reise existiert. Die Briefe, die sie zwischen 1817 und 1820 schrieb, gewähren uns einen einzigartigen, historisch wichtigen und menschlich berührenden Einblick in die koloniale und maritime Welt zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts -- und sie zeigen uns die einzigartigen Erlebnisse, den Humor und die Kühnheit dieser jungen Frau. /reise ISBN: 9783941924017 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 600 gebunden, Orig.-Leinen mit Orig.-Schuber; Dt. Erstausg. / übers. und hrsg. von Michael Uszinski.

Lo scritto rimase inedito per un secolo e la presente è la prima edizione.

[2 blank], XIII, [1 blank], 190, [2] pp.First edition of the letters written to a friend by Rose de Freycinet (1794-1832) aboard the ship named Uranie. Her husband, the great French explorer Louis Claude Saulces de Freycinet (1779-1841), smuggled her onto the ship when setting out on a voyage around the world in 1817. The French government, under the restored monarchy, organized the expedition to show the flag around the world and to make scientific observations on geography, magnetism and meteorology. Captain Freycinet himself published the official journal of the voyage, and the ship s doctors Quoy and Gamard, and pharmacist, Gaudichaud contributed special zoological and botanical studies made during the voyage. Jacques Arago, the artist of the expedition, also published and beautifully illustrated a more popular and entertaining account. The present book is illustrated with his plates. The captain's wife, Rose, who secretly joined the voyage, wrote each day to her friend Caroline de Nanteuil. Her letters are here published for the first time, edited by Charles Duplomb, with an introduction by one of the captain's descendants, Baron de Freycinet, dated at Laage, August 1925. The expedition, equipped for a scientific circumnavigation, sailed in 1817 and visited Gibraltar, Tenerife, Rio de Janeiro, the Cape of Good Hope, Mauritius, Australia, Timor, the Caroline Islands, Hawaii, New South Wales, etc. After a shipwreck near the Falkland Islands, Freycinet bought another ship from Americans which he baptised Physicienne, and sailed home, arriving in 1820. It was one of the most important voyages of exploration of the early 19th century, and Rose's charming letters present it from her unique and interesting point of view.Wrappers a little browned. Untrimmed and partly unopened. Edges of some leaves a little frayed and stained, some plate margins very slightly browned, some slight foxing and staining (especially on the endpapers). Otherwise in good condition.l Borba de Moraes, p. 328 ("very interesting"); Chadenat 1607; Hill 652; Howgego, 1800-1850, F32.
