O knihe
Dampier`s adventures and writing inspired both Robinson Crusoe and Gulliver`s Travels, but in his own right he was a remarkable, observant and enjoyable writer - whether on a woefully mishandled pirate raid in Spanish America or on a desperate journey to Sumatra in an open boat or on the habits of manatees or bats. He also left the first description in English of the Aborigines of Australia - thus initiating a painful, now three centuries` long encounter between peoples on opposite sides of the world.
