Softcover. Condizione: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. Despite ceaseless conflict between different classes and cities, Holland's rise to powerwas almost miraculously rapid. In a few short years a tiny country gained control of territory from Indonesia to the West Indies, from South Africa to South America. In this marvellously evocative book Professor Boxer recaptures the scenes of adventure and dissipation in the four corners of the earth , the upsurgein the arts and sciences, and the sad decoines from the ' Golden Centurt' to the 'Periwig Period'. Few stories could be as rich and colourful, yet it was largely inspired by the ' grave and sober people of Holland', the Calvinist merchants of Amsterdam who forged a nation based on ' gain and godliness'. Such were the people whom Rembrandt painted, who debated policies of apartheid or assimilation, who founded factories and forts. The Dutch Seaborne empire offers a portrait of them all, as they made their spectaculair entrance into the modern world.…

A history of seventeenth-century Japan and Siam (present-day Thailand) with a sizable, in-depth Introduction by C. R. Boxer. Charles Ralph Boxer (1904-2000) was a British historian whose specialization was Dutch and Portuguese maritime and colonial history. Boxer was also a chief spy of British army intelligence. Excerpt from the Preface: "This present work has a double object in view. In the first place, it purports to give a critical edition of one of the best sources for the history of seventeenth-century Japan and Siam, to wit, the descriptions of those countries compiled by Francois Caron and Justus Schouten in 1636, and translated into English by Captain Roger Manley twenty-seven years later. For this purpose, the old English edition of 1663 has been reproduced with scrupulous fidelity, and carefully annotated. For the convenience of the ordinary reader, only textual errors have been noted at the foot of the page, and all explanatory notes have been relegated to a separate section at the end. The secondary aim of this work is to help English readers to obtain some notion of the predominant part played by the Dutch East India Company in the Far East at the time, as exemplified in the career of one of its most remarkable servants, Francois Caron.". …
