Satyajit, a successful movie director, has accomplished all that there is to achievefame, success, and wealthyet he harbors a sense of discontentment within. While the audience cheers for his brand of cinema and the industry fills its coffers by amassing collections from his films, he, personally, is dejected at the prospect of making yet another of those ostentatious, melodramatic romantic family dramas. His inability to find a balance in his relationships and his core need to live up to his potential makes him search for answers and leads him to a realization that his anguish is a result of the projection of his frustration on those who care about him. When he lays his hands on a script that has the potential to fulfill his hearts desire, he grabs the opportunity with both hands and sets out on a trip to research and unearth more details. During the course of this road trip, he meets different people who not only provide him the necessary answers that would turn his vision into a magnum opus but also provide a deep understanding of the eternal principles of life and, most importantly, the unchanging and universal truth.

During the nineteenth century, gridding, graphing, and surveying proliferated as never before as nations and empires expanded into hitherto "unknown" territories. Though nominally geared toward justifying territorial claims and collecting scientific data, expeditions also produced vast troves of visual and artistic material. This book considers the explosion of expeditionary mapping and its links to visual culture across the Americas, arguing that acts of measurement are also aesthetic acts. Such visual interventions intersect with new technologies, with sociopolitical power and conflict, and with shifting public tastes and consumption practices. Several key questions shape this examination: What kinds of nineteenth-century visual practices and technologies of seeing do these materials engage? How does scientific knowledge get translated into the visual and disseminated to the public? What are the commonalities and distinctions in mapping strategies between North and South America? How does the constitution of expeditionary lines reorder space and the natural landscape itself? The volume represents the first transnational and hemispheric analysis of nineteenth-century cartographic aesthetics, and features the multi-disciplinary perspective of historians, geographers, and art historians.
The author has produced a full portrait of Carlyle, the man and his works.
A Roman expedition lost and marching across the 'Roof of the World'; a desperate Senator alone in a city of mirrors looking for his youth; a cavalry officer caught in that fog between his mind and his eyes; a fateful voyage of one last galley into a sea riddled with Vandals; an ancient Labyrinth under the sands of the Empire larger than Rome itself; a last philosopher on his death-bed as all his past faces fall from him in time - these and others are some of the tales contained within this collection. Inside, you will find allegory and the clangour of arms intertwining in that elusive shadow that is the End of Empire. Here is a collection of parables and heroics which collude and collide uneasily against each other. As well as the novella 'The Lost Expedition', printed for the first time, this collection also includes 'The Navigatio' and 'The Battle of Mons Aelian' which are also available as standalone short-stories.
