Description
Summary:John Mandeville’s travel stages two most different spaces : one well known of biblic Neareast that the traveller has doubtlessly traversed, and the other one far Asia, very little known. The image-maker of the narration, through the staging of the discovery of the world, hands back the difference between these two areas. Ways and roads of a through-travelled East wear away, face to nowhere places, which the image-maker and the reader are confronted with. Front a linear world, the illuminator leads to a circular world without beginning or end and reaches Mandeville’s purpose to tell only one world.
