О книге

Daniel Defoe was an English trader, writer, pamphleteer and journalist. He is most famous for his novel "Robinson Crusoe", which is second only to the Bible in its number of translations. A New Voyage Round the World is a narrative fiction of a merchant ship's captain who sails east via the Cape of Good Hope, landing at various ports until they arrive off the western coast of South America. Once they arrive in Chile, the captain decides to test the theory that the Andes can be crossed by foot by sending a group of his men across the continent.
