Publisher's Synopsis

""A New Voyage Round The World By A Course Never Sailed Before"" is a travelogue written by the renowned English author, Daniel Defoe. The book is a first-person account of the author's fictional journey around the world, which he claims to have undertaken in the early 18th century. The book is divided into three parts, each detailing a different leg of the journey. In the first part, Defoe sets sail from England and travels across the Atlantic Ocean to South America, where he explores the Amazon River and the surrounding jungle. In the second part, he travels across the Pacific Ocean to Asia, where he visits China and Japan. In the final part, he sails back across the Indian Ocean and around the Cape of Good Hope to return to England.Throughout the book, Defoe describes the various places he visits, the people he meets, and the adventures he experiences. He also provides detailed descriptions of the flora and fauna he encounters, as well as the customs and traditions of the different cultures he encounters.""A New Voyage Round The World By A Course Never Sailed Before"" is widely regarded as one of the most important travelogues of the 18th century. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the world as it was seen by Europeans at the time, and provides valuable insights into the cultures and societies of the places Defoe visited.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
