Get Your Hands On The Lure Of The Sea: Discovery Of The Seaside In The Western World 1750-1840, The Crafted By Alain Corbin Available Through Document

book is wonderful, but although the materials at the front include a List of Illustrations pp, viii ix withitems, there are NO illustrations in the paperback edition, Given the authors intentions and the careful clarity of his prose, this is a major default, Penguin should offer replacement copies with illustrations, or at the least a rebate, Thank you. Book arrived on schedule and in fine condition, Alain Corbin is a unique and daring historian, I have other books by him as well, His The Foul and the Fragrant: Odour and Social Imagination is also quite brilliant, A fascinating and immensely readable account of how our attitude to the sea changed over time, For centuries the ocean was regarded in the west with horror, which Corbin

explains as rooted in a belief in the natural world ruined after the Flood.
Mountains too were seen as spoiled nature, It is only in the Romantic period that these attitudes underwent a dramatic change, var hmenu document. getElementById"nav hamburger menu" hmenu, setAttribute"href", "javascript: void" window, navHamburgerMetricLogger function if window. ue window. ue. count var metricName "Navm:Hmenu:IconClickActionPending" window, ue. countmetricName, ue. countmetricNamewindow.
