Nel 1400 una immensa flotta cinese composta da centinaia di navi e con decine di migliaia di uomini percorse i mari, giungendo in Indonesia, in India, in Persia, in Arabia ed in Africa: inviata da un imperatore orgoglioso per far conoscere al mondo la gloria e la potenza dei Ming, era comandata dal più famoso degli ammiragli cinesi, un eunuco di nome Zheng He. Le navi trasportavano libri, stoffe preziose, ceramiche delicate e bellissime oltre ad ori ed argenti destinati ai principi dei paesi visitati, e riportavano in Cina merci esotiche da mostrare a corte insieme agli ambasciatori del mondo asiatico che si prostravano in segno di sottomissione: per questo erano chiamate Navi dei Tesori. La storia e le descrizioni delle destinazioni toccate sono esposte basandosi sulle notizie raccolte da viaggiatori precedenti e successivi, oltre che dai cronisti che seguirono la Flotta lasciando una testimonianza dei viaggi compiuti. Nonostante che le informazioni sopravvissute siano molto poche, questo libro narra le missioni compiute dalla Flotta dei Tesori tra il 1405 ed il 1433, tentando di ricostruire le rotte probabilmente seguite sulla base delle condizioni del mare e dei venti, cadenzate dal ciclo monsonico e rilevate oggi con precisione dai satelliti. Un'impresa enorme che avrebbe potuto cambiare la storia se fosse proseguita nel tempo, ma ciò non accadde. Dopo un'epopea durata trent'anni i cinesi si ritirarono dal mare, cancellarono i resoconti dei viaggi, distrussero le navi rinunciando a navigare e rimasero impotenti di fronte alla penetrazione delle marine europee prima e dell'aggressione giapponese dopo. Oggi la Cina sta ricostruendo una grande flotta che già fa sentire il suo peso nelle acque di casa ed in quelle dei paesi vicini, rivendicandone il dominio e ripercorrendo nuovamente l'impresa compiuta 600 anni fa.

Europe’s boundaries have mainly been shaped by cultural, religious, and political conceptions rather than by geography. This volume of bilingual essays from renowned European scholars outlines the transformation of Europe’s boundaries from the fall of the ancient world to the age of decolonization, or the end of the explicit endeavor to “Europeanize” the world.From the decline of the Roman Empire to the polycentrism of today’s world, the essays span such aspects as the confrontation of Christian Europe with Islam and the changing role of the Mediterranean from “mare nostrum” to a frontier between nations. Scandinavia, eastern Europe and the Atlantic are also analyzed as boundaries in the context of exploration, migratory movements, cultural exchanges, and war. The Boundaries of Europe, edited by Pietro Rossi, is the first installment in the ALLEA book series Discourses on Intellectual Europe, which seeks to explore the question of an intrinsic or quintessential European identity in light of the rising skepticism towards Europe as an integrated cultural and intellectual region.

The Spacious Word explores the history of Iberian expansion into the Americas as seen through maps and cartographic literature, and considers the relationship between early Spanish ideas of the world and the origins of European colonialism. Spanish mapmakers and writers, as Padrón shows, clung to a much older idea of space that was based on the itineraries of travel narratives and medieval navigational techniques. Padrón contends too that maps and geographic writings heavily influenced the Spanish imperial imagination. During the early modern period, the idea of "America" was still something being invented in the minds of Europeans. Maps of the New World, letters from explorers of indigenous civilizations, and poems dramatizing the conquest of distant lands, then, helped Spain to redefine itself both geographically and imaginatively as an Atlantic and even global empire. In turn, such literature had a profound influence on Spanish ideas of nationhood, most significantly its own. Elegantly conceived and meticulously researched, The Spacious Word will be of enormous interest to historians of Spain, early modern literature, and cartography.
