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.

Misschien had Colombo het voorgevoel dat hij niet lang zou leven: hij was altijd rusteloos, altijd aan het ontwerpen, altijd oplossingen aan het zoeken voor problemen. Design was voor hem meer dan vormgeving alleen. Colombo heeft gestudeerd aan de Accademia di Belle Arti van Brera en de Politecnico in Milaan. In 1962 richtte hij zijn eigen studio op in Milaan en ontwierp in de jaren daarop succesvolle lampen en interieurobjecten, waarvan er veel tot designiconen zijn uitgegroeid: denk maar aan de 'Boby' ladenblok op wielen in ABS-kunststof of het compacte keukenblok. Hij stierf in juli 1971, net 41 jaar.

Geoffrey Bawa's architectural work is well documented, but less attention has been paid to his work on gardens. This book focuses on his two most famous gardens: Lunuganga, on his own estate, and the lesser-known garden he fashioned for his brother, Bevis.
