📱 eBook en inglés RESOLUTION

A. N. Wilsons powerful new novel explores the life and times of one of the greatest British explorers, Captain Cook, and the golden age of Britains period of expansion and exploration.

Wilsons protagonist, witness to Cooks brilliance and wisdom, is George Forster, who travelled with Cook as botanist on board the HMS Resolution, on Cooks second expedition to the southern hemisphere, and penned a famous account of the journey. Resolution moves back and forth across time, to depict Forsters time with Cook, and his extraordinary later life, which ended with his death in Paris, during the French Revolution.

Wilson once again demonstrates his great powers as a master craftsman of the historical and the human in this richly evoked novel, which brings to life the real and the extraordinary, brilliantly drawing together a remarkable cast of characters in order to look at human endeavour, ingenuity and valour.
