| Synopsis: |
John Jourdain, an English traveler, journeyed to the East Indies between the years 1609-1617. He visited several places there which had neither to not been visited by any of his countrymen. He was one of the first Englishmen to visit Seychelles in 1609 and gives accounts of the English trading voyages to the red sea and of a pioneering journey through Yemen-from Aden to Sana and thence to Mocha. Particulars are also given regarding the trading of William Hawkins at Agra and Henry Middleton at Surat. While in India, he traveled to Ahmdabad, Jodhpur, Ajmer, Gawilor, Ujjan, Burhanpur and Broach. Then follows a lengty narrative of his ship called Darling to Ambonia and Ceram. The book has 3 maps showing his routes. As always, these travelogues are full of adventure and vivid description of local customs and rituals along with snatches of historical anecdotes. An amusing feature of this book is that it preserves the old English spellings of words used. |
