Descrição
Resumo:[eng] Édouard-Alfred Martel, who is considered the founder of modern European speleology, visited Mallorca twice, specifically in the years 1896 and 1901. The impressions caused by the explored caves, as well as by the limestone landscapes of the island, were altogether reflected in his literary production from the first decades of the 20th century. This paper analyzes the references to the caves and karst of our island which are present in two of his fundamental works: “L’Évolution souterraine” (1908) and “Nouveau traité des eaux souterraines” (1921). The observations included in these works focus on the caves explored by Martel in the vicinity of Porto Cristo village ‒Coves del Drac, Coves del Pirata and Cova des Pont‒, containing also references to the then famous Coves d’Artà, located in the northeastern end of Mallorca. In the second of the commented books, there are a few brief notes on the karst of Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, as well as on the karren features observed in various parts of the island.
