[From front jacket flap] For almost a century after our own continent was discovered, the Spanish and Portuguese remained the dominant colonial and sea powers of the world. However, in 1579 a very young man named Jan sailed from the Netherlands to seek his fortune with little but a notebook in his pocket. Jan, the son of the innkeeper at Enk- huizen, a Dutch town on the Zuider Zee, went first to Spain to work for his twin half-brothers, who were in business in Seville. He was in Portugal during the period when Philip II of Spain assumed the crown, and from there he sailed out to Goa as a clerk on the staff of the new archbishop of the Portuguese Oriental empire.But Jan was no ordinary commercial clerk. He was an active, alert young man who kept a journal and a sketchbook - weapons far more dangerous to the Portuguese than cannon and gunpowder. The author, following Jan's writings and supplementing them with his own research and wide knowledge, describes the numerous hazards of Jan's sea voyages, from shipwreck, pirate attack, and mutiny, to the unimaginable filth and disease that beset crew and passengers on the long passage to India in the annual pepper fleet. . . The adventures on the homeward voyage were even more perilous than on the passage out, and Jan did not get home for over three years. He reached home in 1592 and finally published his book containing secret data about the sea routes and countries of the Orient for which the Dutch were avid. . . Jan van Linschoten became famous. Even before his book was printed, he embarked upon another voyage of adventure and exploration, this time in the Arctic Seas north of Russia in search of the Northeast Passage to China. . . Charles McKew Parr, with enormous understanding of the age of exploration and its underlying economic drives, relates the history of Jan's life and times with verve and authority.

Charles Mckew Parr, with enormous understanding of the age of exploration and its underlying economic drives, relates the history of Jan s life and times with verve and authority." Da breve biografia sobre o autor presente nas folhas finais, "Charles Mckew Parr brings to the writing of history and biography an un-usual backgroung, for he has been a successful business man and politician as well as a student and scholar (.) He was born in Baltimore in 1884 of a family that settled in Maryland in Lord Baltimore s day. He attended Boy s Latin School and then went to West Point. But deafness disqualified him for military life, and he entered upon a business career which has taken him all over the world." Language: Inglês / English Location/localizacao: I-144-C-29.
