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.
