“In his comprehensive survey of romantic landscape lithographs, Jean Adhemar has demonstrated that these albums were made up of topographic prints in a picturesque mode, depicting both foreign and French scenes. While albums depicting foreign scenes were generally devoted to a single country, those showing French scenes usually took the form of regional albums that featured a department, a historic region (Normandy, Brittany), or a mountain range (the Pyrenees or the Jura). The importance they played may be gauged not only from the considerable number of albums that were published but also from the substantial editions that were printed, particularly of the albums that were published in Paris.”

“It is clear, therefore, that there is enough evidence of historical memory in India to render the line of investigation adopted here worth pursuing. It is true that Hindu India does not possess a sustained tradition of historiography of the kind we find in other ancient cultures such as Greece, Rome and China. Sometimes cultures exhibit such civilizational gaps. For instance, China has a long history, a history of warfare and chivalry as well, and of course a literary tradition right from Confucius onwards, but it did not produce an epic of the kind we find in Greece, Rome and India. One reason behind this histographic gap in India could be that historical events in ancient India were recorded on stone rather than paper. This renders the facts narrated above particularly signficant, as they are cut in stone. India has more than 90,000 inscriptions, most of which are still unread.”

“Él tenía cuarenta. El hombre enterrado bajo esa lápida, y que había sido su padre, era más joven que él. Y la ola de ternura y compasión que de golpe le colmó el corazón no era el movimiento del ánimo que lleva al hijo a recordar al padre desaparecido, sino la piedad conmovida que un hombre formado siente ante el niño injustamente asesinado, algo había ahí que escapaba al orden natural y, a decir verdad, ni siquiera tal orden existía, sino sólo locura y caos en el momento en que el hijo era más viejo que el padre.”
