Ricostruendo le vicende editoriali del monumentale Voyage aux régions équinotiales e il contesto politico in cui prese corpo non tanto il viaggio, ma la sua ricostruzione, questo lavoro illustra la centralità della questione della schiavitù negli interessi dell’intellettuale prussiano Alexander von Humboldt. Attraverso i suoi scritti, egli operò con grande coerenza per suggerire, in sintonia con gli ambienti dell’abolizionismo francese, una concreta soluzione per la fine dell’orrore della schiavitù. Una battaglia sulla quale sarebbe non a caso ritornato addirittura nel 1856, pochi anni prima della morte. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… Reconstructing the editorial events of the monumental "Voyage aux régions équinotiales" and the political context in which it took shape not so much the journey, but its reconstruction, this work illustrates the centrality of the issue of slavery in the interests of the Prussian intellectual Alexander von Humboldt. Through his writings, he worked with great consistency to suggest, in harmony with the circles of French abolitionism, a concrete solution for an end to the horror of slavery. A battle to which he would have returned not by chance even in 1856, a few years before his death.]
