1000 tulosta hakusanalla Cook Simon J.
In 1768, James Cook, on an epic sea journey that secured his place in history, discovered Australia. One hundred years later, countering cherished legends, George Collingridge dared to claim that the Portuguese had gotten to Australia first. Now VANESSA COLLINGRIDGE, his distant cousin, unravels the strange tale of history's most fascinating explorer and the man who sought to dethrone him. Collingridge charts Captain Cook's celebrated voyages: He mapped the Pacific islands, circumnavigated Antarctica, charted New Zealand, and discovered the New Hebrides and Australia, curing scurvy along the way. He was shipwrecked on the Great Barrier Reef, cruised with sails frozen amid two-hundred-foot-tall icebergs, struggled to keep his crew from losing battles with alcohol and Polynesian women, and somehow managed to stay one step ahead of competing French and Spanish explorers. Over his twenty-one years of adventure--until his murder on a beach in Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii in 1779--Cook changed the Western map of the world. Or so schoolchildren were taught. In 1883 British aristocrat George Collingridge sailed Down Under in search of adventure--and came across maps of Australia dated 1542 and 1546, drawn in northern France but based on Portuguese originals, suggesting that Cook was not the first to reach Australia. This proposal would prove Collingridge's undoing--and yet it is a controversy that lives on.

Winner of the Mao Dun Literature Prize The Cook, the Crook, and the Real Estate Tycoon by the acclaimed prize-winning novelist Liu Zhenyun, is a gripping portrayal of contemporary China through the lens of one man's unexpected discovery. The protagonist, Liu Yuejin is a work site cook and small-time thief whose accidental find of a flash disk chronicling a web of high-level corruption sets off a convoluted chase. Set against the economic extremes of modern China, the novel navigates the murky waters of deceit and power, showcasing the stark divide between the super-rich and the migrant workers who fuel their success. There are no heroes in this scathing, complex, and highly readable critique of the dark side of China's cutthroat capitalism, corruption, and the plight of the underclasses. The Cook, the Crook, and the Real Estate Tycoon, adapted for a movie and television series in 2008 in China, is a story that resonates across mediums and cultures.
