Krátky popis
A reimagined history of exploration featuring a new cast—including
fugitives, indigenous pathfinders and immigrants—that celebrates
the universal qualities ofThe impulse to seek out new worlds is
universal to humanity. In a truly inclusive account of exploration,
historian Matthew Lockwood interweaves stories of famous
figures—including Sacagawea, Pocahontas and Dr Livingstone—with
tales of individuals who are usually denied the title “explorer.”
Lockwood’s new cast of adventurers includes Rabban Bar Sawma, a
Uighur monk who traversed the Middle East and Europe, Yatsuke, an
East African traveller to Japan during the sixteenth century, and
David Dorr, a man born in slavery whose travelogues reshaped
Americans’ understanding of Africa. In lives filled with
imagination and wonder, curiosity, connection and exchange, these
figures unfurl a human tapestry of discovery.Spanning forty
centuries and six continents, this thrilling and concise history
redefines what it means to discover, who counts as an explorer and
what counts as exploration.
