"The Hobbit", "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "The Lord of the Rings" have accustomed us to the fact that in fictional narratives we can see with our own eyes maps of the places they tell about. But did readers of the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries have such an opportunity? Roger Chartier's book is dedicated to the development of literary cartography.This entertaining journey begins with the dusty roads of Spain (Cervantes); then, following the English pioneers, the reader travels to distant new lands (More, Hall, Defoe and Swift), to find his way with the French pilgrims to the Land of Tenderness, the Kingdom of Love or Coquetry, the land of Jansenius (Scuderi, Tristan L'Hermite, Abbe d'Aubignac and Lisieux). After making a brief pilgrimage to g Carmel (Juan de la s), he returns with the Italian paladins to a recognizable geographical space, albeit one at the mercy of magical forces (Ariosto).Finally, the reader finds himself in Provence, in the vicinity of Avignon (Petrarch). The drawn March passes through 4 literary traditions and 5 languages, with its starting and ending points having quite real geographical coordinates, while the middle lies in the realm of pure fantasy. Paving the way from one work to another, the author offers a new approach to the problem of mobility of artistic texts and their interpretations.
