In the early nineteenth century, the Russian naval officer Otto von Kotzebue embarked on a journey of exploration that took him around the world, from the Arctic Ocean to the South Pacific. This book is his gripping account of that journey, full of vivid descriptions of exotic peoples and places, thrilling encounters with natural wonders, and moments of danger and hardship. It is a true classic of nineteenth-century travel writing.
