Pedro Paz Soldán y Unanue, conocido en las letras peruanas como Juan de Arona, publicó el relato de sus viajes transatlánticos bajo el título de Memorias de un viajero peruano. Apuntes y recuerdos de Europa y Oriente. Se trata de un libro culto de viajes, donde relata, con la mirada inicial de un adolescente, su viaje de iniciación a la adultez, una aventura que duró cinco años desde 1859 a 1863. «El 12 de Abril de 1859 zarpaba yo del Callao para Europa por la única línea y vía posibles en esa época, que eran vapores ingleses y Panamá San Tomás. Sin darme cuenta yo ni dársela mis padres, habíamos seguido una excelente gradación en mis viajes marítimos: a la edad de nueve años se me llevaba a Arequipa, navegando desde el Callao hasta Islay en compañía de mi propio padre; a los diecisiete, para combatir los estragos de mi rápido crecimiento, se me embarcaba en un buque de vela, el bergantín «Boterin», que me llevó hasta Iquique en veinticuatro días con escala en Cerro Azul, y al regreso en Arica. Después de haber hecho mis primeras armas amorosas en Tacna, volví a Lima por vapor. A los dieciocho navegaba hasta Valparaíso, entre cuyo puerto y Santiago pasé cosa de un año; y por último, ahora, antes de cumplir los diecinueve, me embarcaba para el más largo y provechoso de mis viajes, de los cuales y de su recuerdo puedo extraer todavía hoy, a la formidable distancia de tantos años, inefables fruiciones e inagotables enseñanzas. Mi mentor (un verdadero Mentor) por esta vez, era un médico español de Victoria, el doctor don Faustino Antoñano, que después de haber sido el médico de la hacienda de mi padre, así como su hermano el capellán, por espacio de ocho años, se volvía a Europa. Este hombre, tan singular por su carácter como por su inteligencia, me había visto crecer y estudiar a la sombra paterna, y había tenido una parte considerable, que yo mismo le otorgaba voluntariamente atraído por su ascendiente, en mi educación moral.» Pedro Paz Soldán Las peripecias de las Memorias de un viajero peruano transcurren en: España, Francia, Grecia, Italia, Líbano y Turquía.

Autobiographical writings have been a major cultural genre from antiquity to the present time. General questions of the literary as, e.g., the relation between literature and reality, truth and fiction, the dependency of author, narrator, and figure, or issues of individual and cultural styles etc., can be studied preeminently in the autobiographical genre. Yet, the tradition of life-writing has, in the course of literary history, developed manifold types and forms. Especially in the globalized age, where the media and other technological / cultural factors contribute to a rapid transformation of lifestyles, autobiographical writing has maintained, even enhanced, its popularity and importance. By conceiving autobiography in a wide sense that includes memoirs, diaries, self-portraits and autofiction as well as media transformations of the genre, this three-volume handbook offers a comprehensive survey of theoretical approaches, systematic aspects, and historical developments in an international and interdisciplinary perspective. While autobiography is usually considered to be a European tradition, special emphasis is placed on the modes of self-representation in non-Western cultures and on inter- and transcultural perspectives of the genre. The individual contributions are closely interconnected by a system of cross-references. The handbook addresses scholars of cultural and literary studies, students as well as non-academic readers.

This volume examines the influence that Pompeii and, to a lesser extent, Herculaneum had on the visual and performing arts in Spain and countries across South America. Covering topics from architecture, painting and decorative arts to theatre, dance and photography, the reader will gain insight into the reception of classical antiquity through the analysis of the close cultural ties between both sides of the Atlantic, in the past and the present. Each contribution has been written by a specialist researcher participating in the project, 'The Reception and Influence of Pompeii and Herculaneum in Spain and Ibero-America', funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (PGC2018-093509-B-I00 Ministry of Science and Innovation/AEI/ERDF/EU). Pompeii in the Visual and Performing Arts begins by examining the influence of Pompeiian architecture in Spain in paintings that depict scenes inspired by Roman scenes and also buildings modelled on those of Pompeii. Next, the influence of Pompeii crosses the Atlantic to Mexico with a study of the archaeological site's influence on the visual and performing arts. An exploration of the elitist use of the ancient past in architecture is seen in Chilean architecture, which leads onto an investigation of the new art styles that emerged in the 19th century. Later chapters look into the influence of the ancient frescoes and the use of modern plaster casts of statues. The final chapters are devoted to comics and photography, which also make a study of the places in Latin America nicknamed 'Pompeii' in the 20th and 21st centuries.
