Book Description
'Giphantia' is a novel written by the French author Charles-François Tiphaigne de La Roche. The story begins by following an unnamed man who desires to explore the vast and dangerous landscape of Guinea. Despite the potential dangers, he sets out with supplies to sustain himself and a compass to guide him. After two days of traveling, he encounters only dried up shrubs and rocks, but on the third day, a high wind stirs up the surface of the sand and creates a dangerous hurricane. The whirlwinds become so intense that they obscure the light of the sun and the air is filled with clouds of dust and sparks of fire.

Book Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.
