Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

An officer in the British Royal Navy, James Cook (1728-1779) commanded the Endeavour during his first great voyage around the world, from 1768 to 1771. A farmer's son who became an outstanding cartographer during the Seven Years' War, he was chosen by the Admiralty and the Royal Society to observe the transit of Venus at Tahiti and to search for the southern continent. His logbook, kept day after day, records with rare precision the shores of the Pacific and the first contacts with the Tahitians and then the Maori of New Zealand, before two further voyages that would make him the greatest navigator of his century.
