摘要：To conmemorate Humboldt return journey to Europe means that of a double transference: we also celebrate how the New World was back to the Old, and how Nature back to the Book. Our focus is representation, an sphere where humboldtian descriptive literature plays a basic role. Here we study the relation between images and words, between Humboldt visual thinking and his narrative techniques in order to animate, giving life to nature. Views of Nature and Cosmos are the two main works in this field; Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, Goethe, and Aristotle, some of the keys we use to decode that descriptive literature.
