hiram bingham machu picchu (55 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. First published in the 1950s, this is a classic account of the discovery in 1911 of the lost city of Machu Picchu. In 1911 Hiram Bingham, a pre-historian with a love of exotic destinations, set out to Peru in search of the legendary city of Vilcabamba, capital city of the last Inca ruler, Manco Inca. With a combination of doggedness and good fortune he stumbled on the perfectly preserved ruins of Machu Picchu perched on a cloud-capped ledge 2000 feet above the torrent of the Urubamba River. The buildings were of white granite, exquisitely carved blocks each higher than a man. Bingham had not, as it turned out, found Vilcabamba, but he had nevertheless made an astonishing and memorable discovery, which he describes in his bestselling book LOST CITY OF THE INCAS. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

En 1911, Hiram Bingham III escaló los Andes en Perú y 'descubrió' el famoso sitio arqueológico de Machu Picchu. Mientras la historia reconfiguraba a Bingham como un mentiroso y un ladrón, Mark Adams se propuso volver sobre el camino peligroso del explorador en busca de la verdad. Este libro relata el viaje de Adams a través de estas colinas remotas e históricas, guiado solo por un australiano de supervivencia y una pregunta persistente: ¿Qué era Machu Picchu?

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The great explorers were the celebrities of their day - the romance and danger of their daring expeditions captured the public imagination and the world's headlines to an extraordinary degree. Not all of them lived to tell the tale, of course, but those who emerged triumphant from jungle, desert or polar wasteland were hailed as if returning from beyond the grave. Journalists vied for their stories and publishers rushed their first-hand accounts of exciting and dangerous journeys into print for a wide and voracious readership. Acclaimed travel historian John Keay introduces this selection of the best of these first-hand narratives, including those of John Ross and John Franklin, writing about their experiences in the Arctic; Richard Burton's account of his search for the source of the Nile; John Speke on Lake Victoria; David Livingstone and Henry Stanley's adventures in central Africa; Alexander McKenzie's first crossing of America and Meriwether Lewis's encounter with the Shoshonee; Robert Peary and Roald Amundsen's voyages to the poles; and the poignant last words of William Wills in Australia and Robert Scott's In Extremis. Keay includes the experiences of four remarkable twentieth-century explorers: Hiram Bingham on the discovery of Machu Picchu; Wilfred Thesiger on Arabia's Empty Quarter; Edmund Hillary on reaching the summit of Everest; and Harry St John Bridger Philby facing despair and defeat in the Arabian desert. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Softcover. Zustand: Gut. 1a.ed. Biblioteca de América / Libros del Tiempo Nuevo, 11. Erste Auflage, 103 p. Rústica. Sprache: Spanisch, Ilustr. fotografías y mapas en b/n. USADO / GEBRAUCHT / USED. Cronológicamente, dice Valcárcel, el Estado incaico se desenvuelve entre los siglos XI y XVI de la era cristiana. El apogeo del Cusco coincide con el largo gobierno del noveno monarca, Pachacuti. Con él, la cultura peruana antigua deja marcadas huellas en el espíritu de la población aborigen y gran número de testimonios materiales, sobre todo en sus magnas construcciones de piedra. De entre éstas, la que ha cobrado justa fama en todo el orbe es Machu Picchu, la prodigiosa "ciudad perdida", descubierta el 24 de julio de 1911 por Hiram Bingham, al frente de una expedición científica financiada en los Estados Unidos, y cuya biografía traza Valcárcel en un animado relato en el cual intervienen por igual la geografía, la etnografía, la antropología, la arquitectura, la religión y la historia política.
