520 "From New York Times bestselling author Hampton Sides, an
epic account of the most momentous voyage of the Age of
Exploration, which culminated in Captain James Cook's
death in Hawaii, and left a complex and controversial
legacy still debated to this day On July 12th, 1776,
Captain James Cook, already lionized as the greatest
explorer in British history, set off on his third voyage
in his ship the HMS Resolution. Two-and-a-half years later,
on a beach on the island of Hawaii, Cook was killed in a
conflict with native Hawaiians. How did Cook, who was
unique among captains for his respect for Indigenous
peoples and cultures, come to that fatal moment? Hampton
Sides' bravura account of Cook's last journey both
wrestles with Cook's legacy and provides a thrilling
narrative of the titanic efforts and continual danger that
characterized exploration in the 1700s. Cook was renowned
for his peerless seamanship, his humane leadership, and
his dedication to science -the famed naturalist Joseph
Banks accompanied him on his first voyage, and Cook has
been called one of the most important figures of the Age
of Enlightenment. He was also deeply interested in the
native people he encountered. In fact, his stated mission
was to return a Tahitian man, Mai, who had become the
toast of London, to his home islands. On previous
expeditions, Cook mapped huge swaths of the Pacific,
including the east coast of Australia, and initiated first
European contact with numerous peoples. He treated his
crew well, and endeavored to learn about the societies he
encountered with curiosity and without judgment. Yet
something was different on this last voyage. Cook became
mercurial, resorting to the lash to enforce discipline,
and led his two vessels into danger time and again.
Uncharacteristically, he ordered violent retaliation for
perceived theft on the part of native peoples. This may
have had something to do with his secret orders, which
were to chart and claim lands before Britain's
520 imperial rivals could, and to discover the fabled
Northwest Passage. Whatever Cook's intentions, his
scientific efforts were the sharp edge of the colonial
sword, and the ultimate effects of first contact were
catastrophic for Indigenous people around the world. The
tensions between Cook's overt and covert missions came to
a head on the shores of Hawaii. His first landing there
was harmonious, but when Cook returned after mapping the
coast of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, his
exploitative treatment of the Hawaiians led to the fatal
encounter. At once a ferociously-paced story of adventure
on the high seas and a searching examination of the
complexities and consequences of the Age of Exploration,
THE WIDE WIDE SEA is a major work from one of our finest
narrative nonfiction writers"--|cProvided by publisher.
