Una storia in cui non c'è una sola donna che non sia più potente, forte e più pericolosa del protagonista. Una storia in cui l'eroe si muove, spaventato e quasi inerme in un mondo che non comprende, interamente governato da ...

Im Juni 1799 brach Alexander von Humboldt zu seiner legendären Forschungsreise auf, die ihn quer durch Süd- und Mittelamerika führte. Es war die Verwirklichung eines lang gehegten Traums – und zugleich eine Expedition, die Geschichte schrieb. Rund zweihundert Jahre später folgte der Autor Werner Biermann Humboldts Route.
