About This Book

Eine Sammlung reisender Skizzen schildert Fahrten von der nordamerikanischen Küste durch Häfen, Flussläufe und Binnenstädte Mittelamerikas; lebhafte Landschafts- und Klimaeindrücke wechseln mit Beobachtungen zu Alltagsleben, Bräuchen, Gastfreundschaft und den Risiken der Reise. Technische und politische Fragen wie Kanalprojekte und lokale Kampfhandlungen werden ebenso diskutiert wie Naturphänomene, Arbeitspraktiken und ärztliche und militärische Begegnungen. Episodisch gegliedert, verbindet der Text detailreiche Ortsstudien mit persönlichen Reflexionen und praktischen Notizen, häufig mit dem Ziel, Szenen für bildliche Darstellung festzuhalten.
