Anthony Rice

    16. august 1928 – 30. máj 2019

    Tento autor sa preslávil svojimi literárnymi thrillery, ktoré svojimi napínavými dejovými líniami a hlbokým psychologickým vhľadom pripomínajú diela najväčších majstrov žánru. Jeho štýl sa vyznačuje precíznou prózou a schopnosťou vykresliť komplexné postavy, ktoré čitateľov vtiahnu do víru udalostí. Témou jeho diel často skúmajú morálne dilemy a povahu ľudského osudu v napätých situáciách. Jeho spletité zápletky a prenikavé postrehy z neho robia autora, ktorého knihy sa nedajú odložiť.

      Sie wagten den Aufbruch in eine fremde Welt. Mitgebracht haben sie die wohl schönste Chronik der Naturgeschichte. Die großen Entdecker und Forschungsreisenden mussten zunächst noch ohne Kamera auskommen. Aber sie wurden von Menschen begleitet, die es vermochten, den Zauber exotischer Pflanzen und seltener Lebewesen mit dem Zeichenstift festzuhalten. Der Band erzählt die Geschichte dieser Expeditionen zwischen 1687 und 1876 und zeigt bisher kaum bekannte Kunstwerke aus den Archiven des renommierten Museum of Natural History in London. Zu den Höhepunkten zählen Hans Slones Reise nach Jamaika, die Europa den Kakao bescherte, Maria Sibylla Merians Besuch bei den Schmetterlingen von Surinam, William Bartrams Ansichten der nordamerikanischen Tierwelt, Darwins Ankunft auf den Galapagos-Inseln und die erste Tiefsee-Expedition mit der »Challenger«.
