It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 15 working days This is the first critical edition of the original 1625 travel account by Anthony Knivet, an Englishman who spent nine years in Brazil in the last decade of the sixteenth century. His is the oldest extensive account of Brazil written by an Englishman, but despite its historical, geographical, and ethnographic relevance it has never merited an annotated (or even a separate) edition in English. This edition, which includes a detailed introduction and extensive notes, allows the English-speaking public to follow Knivet's compelling tale. The account describes Knivet's incredible adventures, experienced roughly between 1592 and 1601, which include working as a drudge for the governor of Rio de Janeiro, escaping into the hinterland to live with native tribes and joining in expeditions of conquest and gold-seeking. The story provides a unique insight into early colonial Brazil and the myriad of people occupying its territory: Portuguese settlers, mixed-race servants, Indians, slaves, and European travellers. Features Summary This is the first comprehensive, annotated edition in English of Anthony Knivet's 1625 travel account.

It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 12 working days TV presenter, writer and adventurer Alice Morrison gives her own unique and personal insight into Morocco, her home for 1001 nights. When Alice Morrison headed out to Morocco, it was to take on one of the most daunting challenges: to run in the famous Marathon des Sables. Little did she expect to end up living there. But as soon as she settled in a flat in Marrakech, she was won over by the people, the spectacular scenery and the ancient alleyways of the souk. Soon she was hiking over the Atlas mountains, joining nomads to sample their timeless way of life as they crossed the Sahara desert, and finding peace in a tranquil oasis. Despite more than 10 million tourists coming to Morocco each year, there is remarkably little that has been written about its people, their customs and the extraordinary range of places to visit, from bustling markets to vast, empty deserts. Alice makes sure she samples it all, and as she does she provides a stunning portrait of a beautiful country. As a lone woman, she often attracts plenty of curiosity, but her willingness to participate - whether thigh deep in pigeon droppings in a tannery or helping out herding goats - ensures that she is welcomed everywhere by a people who are among the most hospitable on the planet. Alice came to fame with her BBC2 series Morocco to Timbuktu, and now she joins the ranks of great travel writers who can bring a country vividly to life and instantly transport the reader to a sunnier place. If you're thinking of going to Morocco, or you want to recall your time there, My 1001 Nights is the ideal book.

So much is tied up in a countryÆs cuisine... indigenous foods of roots and tubers, native wild herbs, berries and spices, cultural traditions and methods of cooking, foreign influences, ingredients and flavourings both indigenous and introduced. One could almost say that a countryÆs dishes embody the essence of what that country is all about. And this is what World Atlas of Food presents to you: from every continent on the globe (excluding Antarctica, naturally) the essence of traditions, food styles and flavours for 100 countries - all those elements that serve to make each country unique - has been extracted. In many cases neighbouring nations or a cluster of islands, as in the Pacific, share a multitude of dishes and yet, inevitable, a specific ingredient or a culinary twist lends each island its own individuality. World Atlas of Food is a journey of the senses, offering armchair travel into the kitchen of six continents. At the same time, through the recipes of our giggling gourmet, Jenny Morris, which uniquely captures the aromas and flavours of each specific country, you are invited to experience the real taste sensations.
