First published in 1929. 'Fire and shipwreck, fights ashore and
afloat, the pitting of ceaseless patience and resource against
fate, these things make one understand why the book, famous in its
original tongue, has but to be savoured in translation to gain an
equal popularity.' Manchester Guardian Bontekoe's East Indian
Voyage was one of the most popular books in which the Dutch
seventeenth century public delighted and it continued to be
reprinted throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. As
well as providing an illuminating insight into the machinations of
the Merchants and Directors of the East India Company and the often
troubled waters of international trade and diplomacy, the account
is a very personal one: of a human being battling against elemental
forces, at tremendous odds, tenaciously holding on to life and
coming through in the end.
