Voyager's Tales

By Richard Hakluyt and 1552-1616 Hakluyt, Richard

Book Overview

Voyager's Tales is a collection of travel accounts compiled by the English writer and geographer, Richard Hakluyt. The book features tales of explorers and adventurers who traveled to various parts of the world during the 16th and 17th centuries, including the Americas, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. The stories are told in a narrative style and provide insight into the experiences of these early travelers, their encounters with different cultures, and their struggles with the elements and natural world. The book includes accounts from famous explorers such as Christopher Columbus, Francis Drake, and Walter Raleigh, as well as lesser-known figures like William Adams and Jan Huygen van Linschoten. Voyager's Tales is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the early days of exploration and the development of global trade and commerce.But, notwithstanding, the king weighed not his said promise, and as an infidel that hath not the fear of God before his eyes, nor regard of his word, albeit he was a king, he caused the said Sonnings to pay the custom to the uttermost penny; and afterwards ordered him to make haste away, saying that the janisaries would have the oil ashore again.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
