| Zusammenfassung: | At once moving and lyrical, The Accidental Indies is a tale in which we join Christopher Columbus on a fantastical voyage through western seas and Western imagination. Robert Finley imagines, sings, charts, and paints the story of Columbus's problematic 1492 expedition to the Caribbean, creating a world that is as vivid and compelling as the explorer's own voyage to the misnamed "Indies".It is a journey through wondrous words that begins with Columbus's earliest explorations when he first "tests the heft and roundness of this earth against his infant head" by stepping from the edge of his rocking cradle to come up short on the boards of the nursery floor. Finley charts a course for us through the days at sea, through the voyage itself, its records and commentaries, into the fraught territory of Columbus' imaginary "Indies" and the representation of this New World on his return to Spain.This incisive and luminescent story, scrupulously grounded in sixteenth-century sources, illuminates the power that "naming" has to create a world - in this case a world still haunted by being the accidental Indies. It is a book about how we perceive and represent the world around us, about the creative and destructive power of language. Through its elaboration of the rich and lively ironies of the Columbus story, The Accidental Indies looks at the nature of storytelling itself. |

"><subfield code="a">At once moving and lyrical, The Accidental Indies is a tale in which we join Christopher Columbus on a fantastical voyage through western seas and Western imagination. Robert Finley imagines, sings, charts, and paints the story of Columbus's problematic 1492 expedition to the Caribbean, creating a world that is as vivid and compelling as the explorer's own voyage to the misnamed "Indies".It is a journey through wondrous words that begins with Columbus's earliest explorations when he first "tests the heft and roundness of this earth against his infant head" by stepping from the edge of his rocking cradle to come up short on the boards of the nursery floor. Finley charts a course for us through the days at sea, through the voyage itself, its records and commentaries, into the fraught territory of Columbus' imaginary "Indies" and the representation of this New World on his return to Spain.This incisive and luminescent story, scrupulously grounded in sixteenth-century sources, illuminates the power that "naming" has to create a world - in this case a world still haunted by being the accidental Indies. It is a book about how we perceive and represent the world around us, about the creative and destructive power of language. Through its elaboration of the rich and lively ironies of the Columbus story, The Accidental Indies looks at the nature of storytelling itself.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Columbus, Christopher</subfield><subfield code="v">Fiction.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Colomb, Christophe,</subfield><subfield code="d">approximately 1451-1506</subfield><subfield code="v">Romans, nouvelles, etc.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Columbus, Christopher</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJcGhhGRKrqQX6YHPv8DMP</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Discoveries in geography</subfield><subfield code="v">Fiction.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Explorers</subfield><subfield code="v">Fiction.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">West Indies</subfield><subfield code="v">Fiction.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Découvertes géographiques</subfield><subfield code="v">Romans, nouvelles, etc.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Antilles</subfield><subfield code="v">Romans, nouvelles, etc.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Explorateurs</subfield><subfield code="v">Romans, nouvelles, etc.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">FICTION</subfield><subfield code="x">General.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">FICTION</subfield><subfield code="x">Historical.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Discoveries in geography</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Explorers</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">West Indies</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Electronic books.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Biographical fiction</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Fiction</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Biographical fiction.</subfield><subfield code="2">gsafd</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Biographical fiction.</subfield><subfield code="2">lcgft</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026246</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Finley, Robert Stuart Martin, 1957-</subfield><subfield code="t">Accidental Indies.</subfield><subfield code="d">Montreal : Ithaca : McGill-Queen's University Press, ©2000</subfield><subfield code="w">(DLC) 2001369784</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="830" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">CEL -
