Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an adventurous nautical memoir recounting a global expedition undertaken in the eighteenth century. In its time, global circumnavigation via the Cape of Good Hope was a groundbreaking endeavor, and the author delivers a strikingly detailed firsthand narrative of just such a journey. The author's ambitious goal was threefold: trade, exploration, and scientific discovery. The author skillfully interweaves the narrative of the voyage with illuminating observations from his studies of the locations he visited. We learn about the lands, peoples, and natural phenomena encountered as the ship rounds the southern tip of South America, crosses the Pacific Ocean, and explores the islands of the East Indies. Ultimately, this record of the voyage provides valuable perspective on the Age of Exploration and the limits of human knowledge in a bygone era. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330796900_0
