Description

The Journals of Captain Cook by James R. Cook This collection of journals chronicles three famous expeditions to the Pacific Ocean between 1768 and 1779, led by Captain John Cook. In these voyages, Cook charted Australia's coastline, mapped New Zealand's shores, and documented the natural history of the Pacific. The original journals were published in a definitive edition many years after they were written, offering a unique insight into Cook's ambitions, courage, and skill as an explorer. This Penguin Classics edition provides authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors. For over 70 years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, presenting a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
