A New Voyage Round the World
Autor William Dampier Editat de Nicholas Thomasen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 aug 2020
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 influencedRobinson Crusoe,Gulliver's Travelsand consequently the whole of English literature.
