Hakluyt's voyages; the principal navigations, voyages, traffiques & discoveries of the English nation made by sea or over-land to the remote and farthest distant quarters of the earth at any time within the compasse of these 1600 yeeres (original 1600; edition 1965)by Richard Hakluyt, Bartholomew Sharpe, Irwin R. Blacker, [from old catalog] (Editor), Basil Ringrose, Ravenau de Lussan. [from old catalog], — 1 more, Sieur de MontaubanIncredibly dry..... I'm surprised that this is not only on the list of the 100 greatest adventure books of all time but also that it is ranked higher than Arlene Blum's "Anapurna" and William Bligh's "Mutiny on the Bounty." While this novel was said to inspire the English to explore the high seas, it only inspired me to sleep. |
