Opis

This is the first English translation of the journal of Louis-Antoine de Bougainville. Although he published an account of his voyage in 1771, and despite wide interest and controversy in Europe following reports of his reception in Tahiti and life on the island, the journal itself was not published until 1977.

Recenzje

'This translation [...] makes a long neglected set of travelogues of great importance available to Anglophone readers in a scholarly and accessible edition... this superb translation [is] an invaluable volume for anyone interested in Pacific exploration.' International Journal of Maritime History
