Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 8226NAMED A BEST BOOK
OF THE YEAR SO FAR FOR 2024 BY THE NEW YORK TIMES
BOOK REVIEW 8226A 8220thilling and superbly
crafted8221(The Wall Street Journal) account of
the most momentous voyage of the Age of
Exploration, which culminated in Captain James
Cook8217sdeath in Hawaii, and left a complex
and controversial legacy still debated to this
day.8220Hapton Sides, an acclaimed master of
the nonfiction narrative, has taken on
Cook8217sstory and retells it for the 21st
century.82218212Los Angeles TimesOn July 12th,
1776, Captain James Cook, already lionized as the
greatest explorer in British history, set off on
his third voyage in his ship the HMS Resolution.
Two-and-a-half years later, on a beach on the
island of Hawaii, Cook was killed in a conflict
with native Hawaiians. How did Cook, who was
unique among captains for his respect for
Indigenous peoples and cultures, come to that
fatal moment?Hampton Sides8217bravura account
of Cook8217slast journey both wrestles with
Cook8217slegacy and provides a thrilling
narrative of the titanic efforts and
continual danger that characterized exploration
in the 1700s. Cook was renowned for his
peerless seamanship, his humane leadership, and
his dedication to science-8211th
famed naturalist Joseph Banks accompanied him on
his first voyage, and Cook has been called one of
the most important figures of the Age of
Enlightenment. He was also deeply interested in
the native people he encountered. In fact, his
stated mission was to return a Tahitian man, Mai,
who had become the toast of London, to his home
islands. On previous expeditions, Cook mapped
huge swaths of the Pacific, including the east
coast of Australia,
7
and initiated first European contact with
numerous peoples. He treated his crew well,
and endeavored to learn about the societies he
encountered with curiosity and without judgment.Ye
t something was different on this last voyage.
Cook became mercurial, resorting to the lash to
enforce discipline, and led his two vessels into
danger time and again. Uncharacteristically, he
ordered violent retaliation for perceived theft
on the part of native peoples. This may have had
something to do with his secret orders, which
were to chart and claim lands before
Britain8217simperial rivals could, and to
discover the fabled Northwest Passage. Whatever
Cook8217sintentions, his scientific efforts
were the sharp edge of the colonial sword, and
the ultimate effects of first contact were
catastrophic for Indigenous people around the
world. The tensions between Cook8217sovert and
covert missions came to a head on the shores of
Hawaii. His first landing there was harmonious,
but when Cook returned after mapping the coast of
the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, his
exploitative treatment of the Hawaiians led to
the fatal encounter.At once a ferociously-paced
story of adventure on the high seas and a
searching examination of the complexities
and consequences of the Age of Exploration, THE
WIDE WIDE SEA is a major work from one of our
finest narrative nonfiction writers.
