Описание: Full of sharp observations and well-chosen detail, this fast-moving account of Cook`s first voyage was published anonymously in 1771, within months of the expedition`s return. The author`s intelligent interpretations of his exotic environments, and fascination with social anthropology and language, make his anonymity all the more intriguing.

Описание: In 1819, John Ross (1777-1856) published this account of his unsuccessful 1818 expedition in search of the North-West Passage. It tried to justify his decision to turn back at Lancaster Sound, which he mistakenly believed was impassable. Influential contemporaries disputed his claims, and the controversy nearly ruined his career.
