Krátky popis
The Reinvention of Humanity tells the story of a small circle of
renegade scientist-explorers who changed something profound: what
it means to be normal. In the early twentieth century, these
pioneering anthropologists, most of them women, made intrepid
journeys that overturned our assumptions about race, sexuality,
gender and the nature of human diversity. From the Arctic to the
South Pacific, from Haiti to Japan, they immersed themselves in
distant or isolated communities, where they observed and documented
radically different approaches to love and child-rearing, family
structure and the relationship between women and men. With this
evidence they were able to challenge the era's scientific consensus
- and deep-rooted Western belief - that intelligence, ability and
character are determined by a person's race or sex, and show that
the roles people play in society are shaped in fact according to
the immense variety of human cultures. Theirs were
boundary-breaking lives, filled with scandal, romance, rivalry and
tragedy. Those of Margaret Mead and her essential partner Ruth
Benedict resulted in fame and notoriety. Those of Native American
activist Ella Deloria and the African-American writer and
ethnographer Zora Neale Hurston ended in poverty and obscurity,
here their achievements are brought fully into the light for the
first time.All were outsiders, including the controversial founder
of their field, the wild-haired professor, German immigrant and
revolutionary thinker, Franz Boas. The Reinvention of Humanity
takes us on their globe-spanning adventures and shows how,
together, these courageous and unconventional people created the
moral universe we inhabit today.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
