Storia
Woodes Rogers' 'A Cruising Voyage Around the World' is a captivating account of his journey as a privateer and privateer-hunter, providing readers with a firsthand look at life at sea during the Golden Age of Piracy. Written in a straightforward and informative style, the book offers detailed descriptions of the places visited, encounters with various cultures, and thrilling encounters with pirates. Rogers' narrative is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the maritime world of the 18th century, making it a must-read for those interested in naval history and exploration. Woodes Rogers, a former privateer turned Royal Navy captain, drew from his personal experiences to create this account of his circumnavigation of the globe. His role in suppressing piracy in the Caribbean and his successful mission to rescue Alexander Selkirk (the inspiration for Robinson Crusoe) provide insight into his motivations for undertaking such a perilous journey. I highly recommend 'A Cruising Voyage Around the World' to anyone fascinated by maritime adventures, piracy, or historical exploration. Rogers' narrative is engaging, educational, and offers a unique perspective on the Age of Sail.
