Review # 1 was written on 2020-12-11 00:00:00 Joni Galman Stepan analyzes the way various people from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have depicted the tropics through their writing, art, and photography. The book engages particularly with how others, primarily from an outsider's point of view, judged the land and people there. Although these representations of nature vary greatly and some may not necessarily be accurate, requiring people to examine them cautiously, they still draw people to study them nonetheless .

Review # 2 was written on 2018-06-02 00:00:00 Theodoros Tafoni "Those masters, so overrated in their day, and so underrated in ours." --Baudelaire "In Manet, Baudelaire must have sensed a certain division between the picturesque romanticism which was dying out, and the realism which resulted from it as by an elemantary reflex, easily taking its place, as if by a reaction of mental distaste and weariness. Just as the eye replies with a 'green' to a too prolonged and insistent 'red,' so too, in the arts, an overindulgence in fantasy is compensated for by a regime of 'truth.' Which is no reason why one side should insult the other; nor why one side should consider itself bolder, and the other consider itself infinitely wiser." --Valery
