Abstract:

The book represents the first in a series on travel writing, translation,
tourism, and advertising. It spans biblical narratives, religious missions,
scientific explorations, and the lesser known travels in Ethiopia (Prester
John, Queen of Sheba, the Ark of the Covenant, the Blue Nile, Maq’dala,
Lalibela and Gondar). In particular, stemming from the cultural turn in
translation studies and geography, this work adopts a comparative and
diachronic perspective on colonial and postcolonial descriptions of space and
place, examining the variation in intertextual citation and re-writing, from
early accounts to contemporary travelogues, marking a persistence in
stereotyping.
