Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Early English Adventurers in the East This work covers the period which intervened between Drake´s circumnavigation of the world at the close of the sixteenth century and the founding of Calcutta at the end of the seventeenth century. Those were the years in which the initial efforts were made by the English to establish themselves in the East as traders. It was, as far as this part of the world is concerned, preeminently the age of the adventurer - the merchant adventurer, if you will, but still of the true adventurer who seeks fortune by his daring enterprise and his mother wit. For varied interest and picturesqueness, there is no more fascinating period than this in the whole of the Empire´s past. Tragedy and comedy mingled their elements in what was in essence one of the most romantic dramas of the world´s history. Men started out to build up a commercial connexion, and they ended in laying the foundations of a dominion over alien peoples more wonderful than that of Rome in her palmiest days.
