Relazione Delle Isole Pelew offre un resoconto affascinante delle isole Pelew (oggi Palau) nel Pacifico occidentale. Basato sui diari e le testimonianze del Capitano Henry Wilson e dei suoi ufficiali, il libro narra del loro naufragio sull'Antelope nell'agosto del 1783.
Questo testo storico fornisce uno sguardo unico sulla cultura, le usanze e la societ delle isole Pelew alla fine del XVIII secolo, offrendo preziose informazioni sulle interazioni tra gli europei e le popolazioni indigene in un periodo di esplorazione e scoperta. La narrazione dettagliata di Keate, arricchita dalla traduzione di Natale Pianazzi, rende questo libro una risorsa importante per chiunque sia interessato alla storia marittima, all'antropologia e all'esplorazione del Pacifico.
