The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook
by Hampton Sides
1776年7月12日，被誉为英国历史上最伟大探险家的詹姆斯·库克船长驾驶着他的“奋进号”开始了他的第三次远航。两年半后，在夏威夷岛的海滩上，库克在与夏威夷当地人的冲突中丧生。汉普顿·西德斯对库克最后一次航行的精彩描述——既有围绕库克遗产进行的搏斗，又惊心动魄地讲述了17世纪探索过程中的巨大努力和持续危险。库克以其无与伦比的航海技术、人性化的领导能力和对科学的执着而闻名于世——著名的博物学家约瑟夫·班克斯（Joseph Banks）陪同他完成了第一次航行，库克也被称为启蒙时代最重要的人物之一。他还对所遇到的当地人深感兴趣。事实上，他的既定任务是将一位已成为伦敦风云人物的大溪地人送回他的家乡岛屿。在之前的探险中，库克绘制了包括澳大利亚东海岸在内的大片太平洋地区的地图，并使欧洲人首次接触到许多民族。他善待船员，努力带着好奇心去了解他所遇到的社会，不带任何评判。然而，库克变得反复无常，用鞭子来执行纪律，并一次又一次地将他的两艘船带入危险之中。一反常态的是，他下令对当地人的偷窃行为进行暴力报复。这可能与他的秘密命令有关，即在英国的帝国对手之前绘制地图并宣称拥有土地，以及发现传说中的西北航道。无论库克的意图如何，他的科学努力都是殖民之剑的利刃，而第一次接触的最终影响对世界各地的土著人来说是灾难性的。库克的公开任务和秘密任务之间的紧张关系在夏威夷海岸达到了顶点。他在那里的第一次登陆是和平的，但当库克绘制完太平洋西北部和阿拉斯加海岸的地图后返回时，他对夏威夷人的剥削性待遇导致了致命的遭遇。《无垠之海》既是一部节奏紧凑的公海探险故事，也是对探险时代的复杂性和后果的深入探讨，是我们最优秀的叙事性非虚构作家的一部重要作品。地图： 库克的第三次航海

From New York Times bestselling author Hampton Sides, an epic account of the most momentous voyage of the Age of Exploration, which culminated in Captain James Cook’s death in Hawaii, and left a complex and controversial legacy still debated to this dayOn July 12th, 1776, Captain James Cook, already lionized as the greatest explorer in British history, set off on his third voyage in his ship the HMS Resolution . Two-and-a-half years later, on a beach on the island of Hawaii, Cook was killed in a conflict with native Hawaiians. How did Cook, who was unique among captains for his respect for Indigenous peoples and cultures, come to that fatal moment?Hampton Sides’ bravura account of Cook’s last journey both wrestles with Cook’s legacy and provides a thrilling narrative of the titanic efforts and continual danger that characterized exploration in the 1700s. Cook was renowned for his peerless seamanship, his humane leadership, and his dedication to science–the famed naturalist Joseph Banks accompanied him on his first voyage, and Cook has been called one of the most important figures of the Age of Enlightenment. He was also deeply interested in the native people he encountered. In fact, his stated mission was to return a Tahitian man, Mai, who had become the toast of London, to his home islands. On previous expeditions, Cook mapped huge swaths of the Pacific, including the east coast of Australia, and initiated first European contact with numerous peoples. He treated his crew well, and endeavored to learn about the societies he encountered with curiosity and without judgment.Yet something was different on this last voyage. Cook became mercurial, resorting to the lash to enforce discipline, and led his two vessels into danger time and again. Uncharacteristically, he ordered violent retaliation for perceived theft on the part of native peoples. This may have had something to do with his secret orders, which were to chart and claim lands before Britain’s imperial rivals could, and to discover the fabled Northwest Passage. Whatever Cook’s intentions, his scientific efforts were the sharp edge of the colonial sword, and the ultimate effects of first contact were catastrophic for Indigenous people around the world. The tensions between Cook’s overt and covert missions came to a head on the shores of Hawaii. His first landing there was harmonious, but when Cook returned after mapping the coast of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, his exploitative treatment of the Hawaiians led to the fatal encounter.At once a ferociously-paced story of adventure on the high seas and a searching examination of the complexities and consequences of the Age of Exploration, THE WIDE WIDE SEA is a major work from one of our finest narrative nonfiction writers.
