About this product
Art.: 048-200
The reader who read Treasure Island in childhood will not be left indifferent by the three-volume edition of the diaries of the famous navigator James Cook, marked by noble simplicity, filled with harsh truth and representing no less exciting reading. Long-term expeditions for research purposes under the command of Cook turned into the British colonization of the lands he discovered, the plundering of natural resources and the depopulation of the indigenous population. Geographers' assumptions about the existence of a grandiose continent in the southern seas and an ice-free passage between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in the north did not come true. The myth of the Golden Age and noble savages turned out to be an invention of the Enlightenment era. The most interesting thing in the captain's diaries today is an unbiased description of a face–to-face meeting between a more advanced civilization and a prehistoric, technically backward and therefore doomed civilization. The author of the diaries himself was destined to fall a sacred victim and become a mythical hero for the victors and the vanquished.
