DESCRIPTION AND TRAVEL

DESCRIPTION AND TRAVEL

Heretofore the only major bibliographies of travel accounts of Ecuador were the corresponding sections in Carlos Manuel Larrea's Bibliografía científica(items 110-111) and Robert E. Norris's Guía bibliográfica (item 150). Although this section endeavors to be comprehensive, it does not include every travel account devoted to Ecuador or that includes substantial coverage of Ecuador for two reasons. First, difficult as it may be to believe, given the magnitude of and long standing interest in this genre, not every travel account is known. That is to say, some accounts have yet to be rediscovered. In this regard, consult Darío Lara's Viajeros franceses al Ecuador en el siglo XIX (item 7343). Secondly, it has not been possible to flesh out the bibliographic particulars of all "known" accounts.

The most detailed and in many respects the most important geographies of the country have been: Theodor Wolf's classic, more than a century old Geografía y geología (item 7470); and the much more recent, multi-volume Geografía básica del Ecuador (item 581). Perhaps the best brief account continues to be Francisco Terán's Geografía (item 7451). Insofar as historical geography is concerned, Jean-Paul Deler's Genèse de l'espace équatorien, also published in Spanish as Ecuador, del espacio al estado nacional (item 564) is a superb as well as basic study.

7201. Alvarez, Eudofilo. Ocho cartas halladas por Eudofilo Alvarez. Quito: Tip. "La Rápida," 1903. 118 p.

This curious work, which I have not seen, nominally consists of eight letters written by one "Alfredo" from Granada, Spain, during his travels throughout Ecuador in the late nineteenth century. The "letters," however, are known to have been written by the Alvarez himself. Alvarez was born in Latacunga in 1876, sojourned in Europe, and occupied several high posts, including that of Director of the National Library.

More than half of this profusely illustrated "coffee table" book is given over to accounts of Ecuador in the late 1870s and early 1880s: Carlos (i.e., Charles) Wiener, "Viaje al Río de las Amazonas y a las cordilleras" (p. 1-112); and Ed[ouard] André, "América equinoccial: Colombia, Ecuador" (p. 477-859). Wiener's travels took place between 1879 and 1882, and André's in 1876. Wiener was an engineer and André, a botanist. Although the illustrations consist of pen-and-ink drawings, the majority appear to have been reproduced from photographs and are comparable to those of scientific expeditions in detail and comprehensiveness. The illustrations--but not the text--have been reprinted as: América pintoresca (Madrid: ERISA, 1980; and Bogotá: Ancora Editores, 1984).
