The Navigator: The Log of John Anderson, VOC Pilot-Major, 1640-1643: European Expansion and Indigenous Response, cartea 7

Victor Enthoven, Steve Murdoch, Eila Williamson Ben Teensma
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 oct 2010
Captain John Anderson served in the Dutch East India Company (VOC) as ‘Pilot-Major’ in a fleet of ships that set sail from Europe in December 1640, and returned with his ships in July 1643. This was Anderson’s fourth voyage to the East Indies.
His journey took three years during which time he safely brought a VOC fleet to Java and home again through tempests and full-scale battles with the Portuguese at sea.
In this, the first-ever edition of Anderson’s Journal, the editors have complemented his own words with chapters discussing the author’s contributions to the History of Warfare in Asia, Maritime Navigation and Early Modern Travel Writing.

Recenzii

"Once again the publishing house of Brill has produced a splendid book [...]."
- Jaap R. Bruijn (Leiden University, The Netherlands), International Journal of Maritime History, 2011, Vol. XXIII, No. 2, pp. 378 - 379

"...source publications like these are necessary to show that the endeavours of East India Companies should never be considered simply as national projects, but seen more as European undertakings. Certainly the books offers us an opportunity to marvel at how different sailing the world must have been almost four centuries ago and offers us an intriguing insight into the world of the East India Companies."
- Chris Nierstrasz (University of Warwick), The Innes Review, 2014, Vol. 65, No. 2, pp. 180-182
