Krátky popis
A. N. Wilson's powerful new novel explores the life and times of
one of the greatest British explorers, Captain Cook, and the golden
age of Britain's period of expansion and exploration.Wilson's
protagonist, witness to Cook's brilliance and wisdom, is George
Forster, who travelled with Cook as botanist on board the HMS
Resolution, on Cook's second expedition to the southern hemisphere,
and penned a famous account of the journey. Resolution moves back
and forth across time, to depict Forster's time with Cook, and his
extraordinary later life, which ended with his death in Paris,
during the French Revolution.Wilson once again demonstrates his
great powers as a master craftsman of the historical and the human
in this richly evoked novel, which brings to life the real and the
extraordinary, brilliantly drawing together a remarkable cast of
characters in order to look at human endeavour, ingenuity and
valour.
