About the Author Providing the inspiration for such
works as Robinson Crusoe and Gulliver's Travels, William Dampier was
the forefather of the English narrative. His words come
alive again in this new edition for the modern reader.
William Dampier (1652 - 1715)
circled the globe three times, wrote of the wildlife and
flora of the Galapagos 150 years before Darwin, visited
Australia close to 80 years before Cook, and his innovations
in navigational technology were studied by Cook and Nelson.
