by James Cook

This volume recounts the second leg of Captain James Cook's extraordinary journey around the world.

The narrative is enriched by Captain Furneaux's journal, offering a parallel perspective on the voyage during their separation. This book serves as a vital historical document, capturing the spirit of exploration and scientific discovery that defined the 18th century.
