Sinossi
"This comprehensive biography of one of AustraliaÆs greatest explorers, Matthew Flinders, details everything from his first sight of Terra Australis at 17 to receiving command of HMS Investigator to explore and chart the entire Australian coast years later. Compellingly written, the biography follows FlindersÆs high adventure with obstacles including a rotting ship in the perilous, little-known labyrinth of the Barrier Reef, bouts of scurvy and dysentery, shipwreck and imprisonment, and a nine-year absence from a beloved wife."

Hardback. Matthew Flinders was just 17 when he first saw Terra Australis, and unlocking its mysteries would become the burning motivation for the rest of his short life - at times at terrible cost to himself and others. Flinders joined the Royal Navy as a teenager, journeyed to Tahiti with Bligh's second - and successful - breadfruit voyage, fought the French in the Caribbean and the Atlantic and sailed with Australia's second governor, John Hunter, to the distant colony of New South Wales. The strange, unmapped continent captured his imagination and exploring its uncharted shores became the central goal of his life. Winning the support of the influential Joseph Banks, he received command of the HMS Investigator on an epic voyage to explore and chart the entire Australian coast. 2002. First edition. A good ex-library copy with age tanning to the edges of the text block, rubbing to the board edges and a previous owners bookplate to the front pastedown. The d/w is also good with edge rubbing and creasing to the panels. 4.4 Centimeters X 15.2 Centimeters X 23 Centimeters. Codice articolo 7723016
