James Cook

Knjiga donosi dnevnike s tri putovanja po Tihom oceanu koje je James Cook poduzeo u drugoj polovici 18. stoljeća, otkrivajući i istražujući njegove obale i izrađujući karte novootkrivenih područja, po zadatku Admiraliteta Britanske imperije.

Prvo putovanje (1768.- 1771.) odvelo ga je na Pacifik (Tahiti) i, poslije, u Južni Pacifik, gdje je tražio tajanstveni kontinent Terra Australis. Prilikom drugog putovanja (1772. - 1775.) otputio se u ledena područja na krajnjem jugu i posjetio neke pacifičke otoke, a tada su riješene dileme oko Terre Australis. Treće putovanje (1776. - 1779.) donijelo je otkriće Havajskih otoka. Ovdje je James Cook čiji je cilj bio "Doći donde, dokle je moguće čovjeku doći. Doprijeti dalje negoli je dopro ijedan čovjek prije mene", izgubio život.
