This book is a great primary source into long voyages around the world and what occurred and was found along the way. The sea has always been the cradle of the Britain, and over six hundred years ago an old chronicler who was also an adventure wrote in this book the great sea tradition that "English ships visited every coast," and that "English sailors excelled all others both in the arts of navigation and in fighting."

'A roaring tale ... remains as vivid and exciting today as it was on publication in 1697' Guardian The pirate and adventurer William Dampier circumnavigated the globe three times, and took notes wherever he went. This is his frank, vivid account of his buccaneering sea voyages around the world, from the Caribbean to the Pacific and East Indies. Filled with accounts of raids, escapes, wrecks and storms, it also contains precise observations of people, places, animals and food (including the first English accounts of guacamole, mango chutney and chopsticks). A bestseller on publication, this unique record of the colonial age influenced Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver's Travels and consequently the whole of English literature. Edited with an Introduction by Nicholas Thomas
