Sobre este artículo
Captain Cook, Alistair MacLean. Published by Doubleday & Company, 1972. First American Edition. 8vo up to 9½" tall.,192pp. with colour frontispiece, colour and black and white photographs, maps, illustrations, epilogue, index. Green cloth boards with mapped endpapers. Illustration on dustjacket is by artist John Webber who accompanied Cook on his final voyage. Very light fading and small bump to lower edge of front board and otherwise both volume and unclipped dustjacket are in fine condition without marks, folds etc.
James Cook was the greatest combination of seaman, explorer, navigator, and cartographer that the world had ever known.
Alistair MacLean presents a graphic and lively account of this great explorer, his three amazing voyages and the adventures that befell him, his crews, and his ships in lands that until he sailed were in many cases unknown. Cook's life was a resounding success and the story of it is a thrilling exemplification of his own description of himself as a man 'who had ambition not only to go farther than anyone had done before, but as far as it was possible for man to go'.
Alistair Maclean (1922-1987) authored twenty-nine world bestsellers and is recognized as an outstanding writer in his own genre. Many of his titles have been adapted for film including 'The Guns of the Navarone', 'Force Ten from Navarone', 'Where Eagles Dare' and 'Bear Island'.
