This book is jam-packed with first person accounts of seeing and wondering about unknown and/or unthought things such as durian and jackfruit, zebras, boomerangs, the concept of the international date line, the width of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the differences in various cultures met around the world, etc. To top it off, Dampier was a willing buccaneer who migrated towards being an unwilling one near book’s end. Truly fascinating reading. All, that is, except for the period along the Central and South American coasts which became somewhat tedious at times. Wonderful book though!

'A roaring tale ... remains as vivid and exciting today as it was on publication in 1697' Guardian The pirate and adventurer William Dampier circumnavigated the globe three times, and took notes wherever he went. This is his frank, vivid account of his buccaneering sea voyages around the world, from the Caribbean to the Pacific and East Indies. Filled with accounts of raids, escapes, wrecks and storms, it also contains precise observations of people, places, animals and food (including the first English accounts of guacamole, mango chutney and chopsticks). A bestseller on publication, this unique record of the colonial age influenced Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver's Travels and consequently the whole of English literature. Edited with an Introduction by Nicholas Thomas Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
